Joey Bada$$ performs “Head High” at the 2022 Hip Hop Awards. In his performance, Joey paid tribute to the legacies of rappers Scott La Rock, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Big L, Soulja Slim, XXXTENTACION, Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, King Von, Young Dolph, Trouble, and PnB Rock, honoring their memories in the order of their passing due to gun violence from 1987 to 2023.
