The newest release from Joey Bada$$ "Pardon Me" heavily exudes a nostalgic flair with its classic East Coast aesthetic and lyrical references.

This release not only marks Joey's first release of 2025, but the string of singles also hints at an album that'll be arriving soon after the release of "The Ruler's Back" and "Sorry Not Sorry". On "Pardon Me", Joey carries a raw vocal delivery that's brimming with a sense of attitude that matches his lyricism and the punchy, hard-hitting rhythm section. The presence of the soulful vocal sample acts as a fascinating contrast to his raw and brazen performance, creating a dynamic interplay between grit and soul from start to finish.
