Joey Bada$$ stopped by to kick it with Montreality, discussing a wide ranging variety of topics. While the interview is both informative and entertaining, some of the most interesting moments arise when Joey discusses Jay's 4:44 project:

"I know I was an inspiration to that album. There's nothing nobody can tell me...I put certain pressure on these OGs in the rap game, like they know what they gotta talk about now, cause they got this young n*gga Joey Bada$$ comin' out, talking about this shit before they got the chance to talk about it...I love the album, it's great, I'm glad he spoke about everything he spoke on and I'm glad I could be inspirational."

Fans know that Joey and Jay have been spotted kicking it in the past, so perhaps there's some truth to that. For more from Joey, including his favorite anime, his relationship with the TDE crew, and his experience with shrooms (the words "super magical" are used) check out the full video below.
