According to the rapper’s updated Instagram biography, ‘2000’ will hit streaming services on July 22 via Pro Era / Cinematic. It was originally scheduled to come out on June 17, but Joey announced just hours before its planned release that it would be delayed due to “sample clearance issues”.
To celebrate the news, Joey has released a brand new single from the album “Where I Belong”. Channeling the great hip-hop music of the 90s, in the energy of the song and the accompanying music video, the track is fit for the circumstances of its release.
Here’s how Joey’s first bars go: “I’m going back to the set because I never left / I’m taking steps to be the best until they relax / VVS on my chest, it’s off track / No color on my two doors, I want them to see that it’s us / Because if I’re paid enough, the mothers better see me coming. “
Watch the video for “Where I Belong,” directed by Waqas Ghani, below:
Where I Belong is “the second single shared since” 2000, “following the release of” THE REV3NGE “in January. The album itself will be Joey’s debut for over five years, after” All-Amerikkkan Bada $$ “landed in April 2017. However, he released the trio EP” The Light Pack “in 2020.
In an interview granted in May that XXLJoey talked about what people can expect from ‘2000’, saying, “I’m ready for it to come out. I know the world needs new music from Joey. Shit, yes Joey wants to bring new music to the world.
“According to the producer, I have my guys there: Statik Selektah, Kirk Knight. I have a Cardo theme. I have a Mike WiLL theme. [Made-It]. I’m supposed to join DJ Premier this week because I told him I can’t finish this album if we don’t get together. “
