Joey Bada$$’s chatty character on “Mr. Robot” might be obsessed with “Seinfeld,” but off-screen, the 21-year old doesn’t have too much time to watch TV: He’s first and foremost a rapper, something he just broadcast around New York City with a mobile merch shop and concert atop a flashy double-decker tour bus (which in turn was decked out with flat-screen TVs playing his new music video, “Devastated.”) Find out more about what he’s been up to with his culture diet, here.
