Joey Bada$$ and Ab-Soul are seen laughing in the above clip, but they aren't necessarily in the best of positions. The two were embarking on the Smokers' Club Tour when they were arrested before their performance in St. Louis, which is scheduled for tonight (Oct. 29).

Since breaking out with the refreshingly raw 'Survival Tactics' video early last year, and soon capitalizing on his new-found fame with the release of his debut solo mixtape, '1999,' Joey Bada$$ has been heralded (or burdened, depending on who you ask) as the face of New York's hip-hop renaissance...

Pro Era wunderkid Joey Bada$$ puts on his director's cap for the video to '95 Til Infinity,' one of the early samples of his forthcoming free album, 'Summer Knights.'
