Joey Badass Recording Session

RECORDING LOG:

Artist: Joey Badass
Mixing Engineer: Nick Breton

RECAP:

After a show in San Diego last night Joey came up to LA and ended up staying across the street from the studio. Had a long writing session, played him a ton of beats from various producers I work with and got a new track started (hook and first verse).

After recording we shot an in-studio performance video for the song “Two Lips” that we recorded together over a J Dilla beat last year. Thanks to Akomplice Clothing for that connection, still to this day it is one of my favorite songs recorded at Truth.

The video looks incredible, may be one of the best I’ve shot in all the performance videos. Really happy we got to do that last night. Will be editing by the end of this month and hope to post the video in June.

Always love working with Joey.
