The Beast Coast history is years deep and includes a previous 2013 run that marked the first major tour of Badass' career. This summer, Beast Coast will make a number of festival appearances, including at Rolling Loud in May and Governors Ball in June.
Last September, Powers Pleasant enlisted Beast Coast's powers for a remix to his track "Pull Up." Last year also saw the arrival of Pro Era's PEEP the Aprocalypse re-release featuring previously unheard cut "Know the Rules."
Badass reportedly settled a lawsuit with a Trump impersonator earlier this month. The suit derived from an incident at an MTV-backed event in 2016, with the Trump impersonator in question alleging that Badass pushing him into the crowd after his attempt at getting onstage caused him "potential surgery" and lost profits. The nature of the settlement was not disclosed.
All-Amerikkkan Badass, Joey's sophomore album, dropped back in 2017. Later this year, we can likely expect to see him again on the final run of Mr. Robot.
