The epic 20-track body of work showcases his elite lyricism front and center. He celebrates the album’s arrival by sharing the music video for the single ‘GOYF’ featuring X-Raided. The bassey piano adds an encroaching sense of pomp and circumstance to the proceedings as he quickly advises,
“Get out your way, get out your feelings, get out your pain”.
Picking up the ball, X-Raided delivers a bulletproof barrage of bars fueled by his nimble wordplay. In the visual, Joey puffs on expensive cigars from behind an ornate desk with a box full of cash. Various friends pop out as he and X-Raided command attention in every frame.
‘Roller Coaster‘ practically overflows with thrilling raps though. On the standout ‘Crawl Space’, Matt Phoenix sets a dark tone with the confession,
“I’m on the edge, I said it for the last time”.
Palm-muted guitar crunches beneath Joey’s rhymes,
“Momma told me that’s just how the devil go, then the homie he told me to let it go, kicking up all this dust, let it settle bro”.
Finally, Tech bodies the production and warns,
“Talking shit, now I’m busting your bubble”.
Then, there’s “Heart” featuring Doobie. Thunderous 808s skitter as Joey gets reflective,
“Look what I did, I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
He recruits The Popper for ‘Give Thanks’. Bold horns and lively handclaps erupt while Joey leans into a smooth cadence. He shrugs off negativity, opps, and haters, promising,
“Still giving thanks, this is for the record”,
Meanwhile, ‘Slow Down’ featuring Head Da Don showcases another side of his artistry, while he and Lil Wyte welcome everyone to “Trouble Town.” On “The Fuse,” he delivers scorching bars between triumphant trumpets Exuding confidence, he grins,
“I done got so damn hot, you don’t even need to find the lights”.
It also boasts the recent fan favorite ‘OG Cool‘. It picked up plugs from Hip Hop Over Everything, Chad Kiser, and more.
This summer, Joey kept up his prolific streak by unleashing ‘Out The Way’. Right away, The Hype Magazine and more featured it. Prior, he served up ‘The Fuse’ and ‘Drippin’ Part 3’. The latter earned plugs from I’m Music Magazine, Hip Hop Over Everything, and more.
