Joey Badass has released his newest song, "Head High," which he debuted during a performance on A Colors Show.
He wrote the song shortly after Nipsey Hussle died, and in the first verse, he refers to the late rapper as well as Capital Steez, who passed away in 2012. In the song’s second verse, he raps about his relationship with XXXTentacion.
“This is one of the best, purest, realest tracks I’ve ever made and I’m fulfilled to finally share it with the world,” he said in a statement. “This one is for Nip, X, Pop and every young black man who’s life was taken away way too soon. This is for everyone who has to navigate life daily with their head on a swivel.”
