Joey Bada$$ says the Roc is not his future home and that he plans to stay independent.
Over
the past weeks, rumors have been circling that Joey Bada$$ had signed
with Roc Nation after the 17-year-old Flatbush native name dropped the
imprint in his verse on A$AP Rocky's "1 Train." Now, in a recent
interview with The Source, Joey sets the record straight as to his
affiliation with Jay-Z's imprint.
Joey Bada$$ revealed that
despite the reports, he hasn't closed a deal with the Roc, and probably
won't anytime soon. He said that he's much more keen on signing to an
independent label than he is inking a deal with a major label.
"They
actually announced it on the radio that I signed with [Roc Nation]...
that was dumb as fuck," he joked. "Won't sign to no major, for no wager,
less than a 3 million offer of the top, I be in a box when my coffin
drops, why settle for an office spot? That type of thing, you
know...major labels is just not where my head is at right now, you
know...[independent], that's more of where my head is at, 'cause that's
what I'm tryna to do, I'm tryna go more independent."
