The music industry and fans alike are still reeling from the untimely death of A$AP Yams, the mastermind behind A$AP Mob.

Brooklyn's Joey Bada$$, who just released his debut album, B4.DA.$$, on Tuesday opened up about Yams' legacy. We spoke with Joey about the last time he talked with Yams and his impact on the music industry, as a whole. "[Yams] pioneered a whole new generation.... I don't say that lightly," Joey stated.
