Joey Bada$$ & ScHoolboy Q - "Rockabye Baby"

Joey Bada$$ track "Rockabye Baby" from All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ features Schoolboy Q.

BYMitch Findlay

Joey Bada$$ and Schoolboy go in over an ominous beat, featuring eerie chopped-up keys and hard hitting drums. It's the type of beat that invites aggression, and Joey sets things off by aiming straight for the head with a resounding "Fuck Donald Trump!" Schoolboy comes in over a plucked string section, and when the drums kick back, lyrically paints a nightmarish depiction of inner-city struggles. Overall, the track manages to blend sociopolitical commentary while still going hard as hell. If this is any indication of AABA, we're going to be in for a dark ride. 

Quotable Lyrics

Same routines, the same dope fiends
Them nightmare dreams, forever murder season
Bad intentions to them picket fences
They gave us guns but won't hire us, n***a?
