Joey Bada$$

"20 Miles Freestyle"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 1, 2013

Joey Bada$$ kicked off Pro Era week with new tune "Wendy N Becky," but he's digging deep into the annals for the next offering, "20 Miles Freestyle." The vintage track was recorded when the rapper was just 16 (to be clear, though, he's only just turned 18) and was delivered under the name JayOhVee.

Atop a jazzy backdrop, the especially young spitter's three-minute freestyle runs through lines about already being on his way to becoming a legend ("I'm better than those other guys / I'm the shit, see, I attract hella flies), and sets himself up with some legendary company via name-drops like Kanye, 2pac, Dilla, Big Boi and Andre 3000.

You can sample the Rhodes-assisted track down below.
