Who You Got? A Complete List of Joey Bada$$ vs. Ray Vaughn, Daylyt & Friends Diss Tracks So Far

What started as a few pointed bars has exploded into a full-blown lyrical collision between Joey Bada$$, Ray Vaughn, Daylyt, and a growing lineup of emcees making it clear: this ain’t about clout, it’s about craft.

How It Started

It all kicked off on New Year’s Day 2025, when Joey Bada$$ dropped “The Ruler’s Back”, a fiery statement piece that not only reminded fans of his lyrical dominance but took subtle shots at a newer generation of rappers he claimed lacked authenticity.

By January 7th, Daylyt had entered the ring with “HIYU”, followed quickly by Ray Vaughn’s “Crashout Heritage” just a day later. From there, the floodgates opened.

What makes this feud unique is how it has spiraled into a cipher-like atmosphere—with emcees like CJ Fly, REASON, Big Sean, AZ Chike, and even Loaded Lux stepping into the circle. While Joey remains at the center, it’s no longer a one-on-one: it’s a lyrical gauntlet.

For Joey Bada$$, this is about legacy and lyricism. For Vaughn, Daylyt, and others, it’s a chance to challenge the status quo and stake their claim as the next voice of the culture.

The internet is calling it “Rap’s March Madness.” Every drop feels like a playoff round.
