That Nujabes joint took me back. R.I.P.

[@LJ_S1K]

I feel like Joey and Jhene Aiko would vibe real well, idk i've watched some of her interviews and she preaches that peace and love. They would make a dope chill song

[@blahblah99196]

Geriafrican She seems fake deep to me, idk tho...

[@logkev]

Nujabes is a GOAT producer. Joey should rap one of his beats

[@Sosa43890]

Logan Schway he did

[@dubsnac7407]

I'm waiting on his album but I'm not sure what it's called is it B4DAMONEY or is it B4DASS

[@DiegoGrit]

He says #B4DAMONEY on twitter and Instagram because you can't put $'s in hashtags, but it's really called B4.DA.$$

[@forho2]

Who else has been looking for a spiritual path that fits them? I didn't understand what his methods for Spiritual development were besides his interest in Law of Att. I am knew to Joey, Does anyone know any other interviews, clips, songs where he straight out explains his Spiritual Beliefs and/or religion?

[@aliyazc213]

well joey is PROgressing he's shining he's more humble smarter STEEZ is proud of his younger brother i'm sure of that.

[@malou5290]

[@dariano56]

It is called "Feather" (Instrumental Version) by Nujabes.

[@randr]
