Joey Badass returns Thursday with new heat for his fanbase in "Front & Center." The record is produced by Cookin Soul and flips the opening theme song for Netflix favorite Narcos. Badass previewed "Front & Center" a few weeks back in a Pro Erasode segment capturing footage of his time on the Blank Face Tour with Schoolboy Q.

Lyrically, the Brooklyn rapper turns his focus toward the "bad mamis" in his life and the smooth backdrop works seamlessly with his delivery. He even works in some Spanish to play up the Narcos angle.

"Front & Center" is Badass' first official release since dropping "Devastated" back in May. He later released a video for the record and shared more details behind its creation. It's fair to say these two tracks show a versatility from Badass that fans can get behind as he presumably works toward the proper follow-up to his debut studio album B4.DA.$$. It's still unclear when Badass will drop that, but for now check out "Front & Center" below.

You can also check out the latest episode of Badass' Pro Erasode below. It acts as part two of his time on the Blank Face Tour and finds the rapper hanging with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie as well as fans while at terminal 5 in NYC.
