Joyner Lucas is back with a new track titled “ISIS.” It finds the Massachusetts rapper uniting with his former foe Logic, and the accompanying music video features the duo dressed in military garb while performing the song.
On the track, Joyner spits bars aimed at his haters:
I just want the money, I don’t need a budget
I been hungry, I ain’t no weapon
But I got the munchies, nigga
How you gon' move on the front line?
If I don’t fuck with you, I just cut ties
My high school teacher said I’d never be shit
Tell that bitch that I turned out just fine
The interlude makes a statement about ADHD, which is also the title of Joyner’s upcoming album:
According to the American Psychiatric Association
It affects roughly eight percent of children
And two percent of adults
Commonly believed to only affect boys
Because they are perceived as rowdy and rambunctious
Logic raps about leaving their former problems in the past while interpolating The Notorious B.I.G.’s “What’s Beef?”:
What’s beef?
Beef is when you murder motherfuckers on a beat, kill ‘em all, kill 'em all
Nah, nah, what’s beef?
Beef is brothers hangin’ over shit that never mattered in the first place, lyin' in the street
What’s peace?
Peace is when you leave it in the past, let it heal like a cast
When enough time pass, and you blast
In 2018, Joyner and Logic were involved in a beef which Genius broke down in a video:
Earlier this month, Joyner released a single titled “Devil’s Work,” in which he raps about the concept of trading deceased fallen music and political icons for people like Donald Trump, R. Kelly, and Tomi Lahren.
“Devil’s Work” and “ISIS” are slated for Joyner’s upcoming album, ADHD.
