Joey Bada$$ at Blue Note Los Angeles

Joey Bada$$ brings his Brooklyn-raised, boom-bap-rooted hip-hop to Blue Note Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard, where the evening pairs live rap with a full bar and dinner menu. Since the breakout mixtape 1999, the East Flatbush artist has been at the center of boom-bap lore, with albums like B4.Da.$$, ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$, and 2000 broadening his range.

A founding member of the Pro Era collective, Bada$$ has also become known as a compelling storyteller and actor, with a role in Power Book III: Raising Kanan and recent artist-in-residence stints at NYU and Columbia. At this venue, table seating is open to all ages while the bar area is limited, making for a close, club-style show.
