Statik Selektah, Joey Bada$$, & Nas Have A Single Coming

Joey Bada$$ has been steadily proving that patience is a virtue — with his most recent album having arrived in 2017, with the politically-charged All Amerikkkan’s Bada$$. And while he has indeed been toying with the idea of dropping his next project, for the most part, the Badmon seems ready and willing to move at a methodical pace. Yet that doesn’t mean he’s sitting things out entirely — in fact, he appears to have an absolutely monumental single in the stash, courtesy of Statik Selektah.

Taking to Twitter to break the news, Statik confirmed that he’d be uniting Joey Bada$$, Nas, and Gary Clark Jr on his brand new single “Keep It Moving,” which is all set to arrive on October 16th. “Friday! First single off #thebalancingact = @nas x @joeybadass x @garyclarkjr #keepitmoving on all platforms,” he confirms, alluding to his upcoming project The Balancing Act, which has yet to receive a proper release date.

Now, fans will likely remember that the project was originally detailed back in March, revealing a few hype-inducing guest appearances from Nas, Griselda, 2 Chainz, Dave East, Joey Bada$$, and Method Man. Though it’s been months since that initial announcement, it would appear that good things come to those who wait — case in point, the first-ever collaboration between Joey Bada$$ and Nas, complete with some gently weeping guitar from Gary Clark Jr. Are you excited to hear “Keep It Moving” this Friday?

A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
