EMPIRE's own store presents the 2026 run as a 14-year anniversary reissue and lists it in a gatefold jacket. The sleeve carries the Pro Era Records and EMPIRE marks, under catalog number ERE427.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1999 first appeared on June 12, 2012, as a free download: a tribute to 1990s East Coast hip hop, built on boom bap production and lyrics drawn from Joey's teenage years in Brooklyn. It reached streaming services on June 12, 2018, after the instrumental of \"Funky Ho'$\" was changed to remove an uncleared sample, the same step that made a vinyl release possible. That re-release also retitled the closing track \"Suspect\" as \"Third Eye Shit,\" the name it carries here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back cover credits production to Chuck Strangers, MF DOOM (\"World Domination,\" \"Pennyroyal\"), J Dilla (\"Snakes,\" \"Where It'$ At\"), Lord Finesse, Statik Selektah, Knxwledge, Lewis Parker, Vin Skully, Freddie Joachim and Bruce LeeKix. Guest verses come from Pro Era members Capital STEEZ, CJ Fly, Chuck Strangers and Kirk Knight, along with T'nah Apex, and the closer is credited to the whole Pro Era collective. Joey Bada$$ executive produced the tape, shares mixing credit with Shy Guy Beats and Wayne Harewood, and is credited for the artwork alongside Chike Ozah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBET nominated 1999 for mixtape of the year, Pitchfork gave it 8 out of 10, and Complex ranked it the 38th best album of 2012. Videos followed for \"Hardknock,\" \"Survival Tactics,\" \"FromdaTomb$\" and \"Waves.\" Ten years later Joey followed it with a sequel album, 2000, released on July 22, 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer Knights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFromdaTomb$ (feat.
