Can you say passion and creativity? Well those are just a couple of words to describe Joyner Lucas from Worchester Massachusetts. This artist has been in my backyard (Massachusetts) putting MC's on their toes for quite sometime. He recorded under the name G-Storm and then Future Joyner back when and now goes by Joyner Lucas. He was also in a group called "Film Skool Rejekts". He chose to drop the Future from his name, when the artist FUTURE became famous.

Review:
Joyner's 3rd LP has finally been released after almost 2 years. He's been teasing us with dropping singles, but that's the Music industry now, so I'm use to it. I believe I've skipped at least five songs because I already heard them. Since the album is focused on ADHD, I'm pretty sure it's reasonable to do so. I might have #ADHD myself after listening to this album.
We all know that are fans, that he has lyrics for days. The thing I love about him is, he structures his songs and albums very well as projects. He's an artist that makes you listen to his bars. Most of his tracks are slow tempo in the beginning as he spits leading to the bass drop and then he gets more grimy. I've been a fan since the WORLD publicized him. He's a artist that you vote for to WIN.
He's skits fit the formula of the album, from the therapist skits to the two well known comedians Chris Rock and Kevin Hart. The skits are spread out well and keep the album flowing well.
The producers on the album are doing there thing as well. The composers must of selected tracks that were in the same flow pattern as Joyner, but completely different. The songs blend well with the exception of a few. I wouldn't change the orders of the songs, I would just remove a couple. For example, I could of went without another Chris Brown joint. Okay Joyner, you know Mr. Brown.
Joyner's BEST songs are usually the one's that have structure. Take "Revenge" for example. It feels like he had direction with this track. Like he had the Title of the song and then wrote the lyrics. I wouldn't be surprised if that was his process. Seems like he also thinks of the videos prior to writing the lyrics. And I bet he's a writer too, not a Benny The Butcher or Jay-Z mental storage rapper. Those guys don't use PAPER or a phone unless they don't want to forget about a great line. And properly not even then. Biggie was another MC that didn't write. Not that there is something wrong with that. LOL!
One of his other stand out joints is "Will". He made an entire song about being Will Smith's shoes. And Will already responded on TikTok telling him that he is very humble and he cannot wait to meet him. You gotta love the fast pace of social media. That would actually be a great collaboration between those two gentlemen. Maybe the remix? I'm putting it in the air people. Check out the video as well. Mr. Lucas is one of the most creative artist with his videos.
I'm blessing Joyner with a 3.8 MIC rating. He can flow with the best of them, his beats were good and his album structure and concept was great. Joyner Lucas, if you reading or watching my YOUTUBE review, thanks for this quality piece of work and keep it coming. Hip-Hop needs you and your mindset. We need your ADHD.
