It's been a bit of a wait for the debut album from Joey Bada$$, but the Brooklyn MC's highly-anticipated B4.Da.$$ finally has a release date. The album, which will be coming out on Cinematic Music Group, will officially be released Jan. 20, which doubles as Joey's 20th birthday.

It's been a bumpy ride for Joey since he graced the 2013 XXL Freshmen cover, but after two well-received mixtapes and a few crew projects with Pro Era, Joey has finally completed his full-length debut. The announcement was made via the album trailer, above.

Recently, Joey has been dropping the singles "Big Dusty" and "Christ Conscious," both of which as expected to appear on the album, while he just wrapped up a headlining tour with Pro Era that crossed the country. He's on tour in Europe right now, with Australian dates to follow before the album drops.

So there it is, Pro Era fanatics: Jan. 20 is the date to circle on your calendars. Check out XXL's recent feature on Joey Bada$$ from the most recent issue of XXL Magazine right here.
