Joyner Lucas Drops Powerful New Debut Album 'ADHD'
Joyner Lucas has released his powerful new debut album, ADHD. The video for the project's latest single, ‘Will,’ an incredibly creative tribute to the rap and film star Will Smith, hit the #1 trending spot globally at YouTube earlier in the week and has now hit over 10 million views.
The 18-track ADHD album includes features from Logic, Young Thug, Timbaland, and more, as well as skits from Kevin Hart and Chris Tucker.
Freed at long last from his commitment to a major label, 2019 marked what was undoubtedly the most successful and productive year of Lucas’s brilliant career thus far. The year kicked off with the iconic rapper’s first ever GRAMMY® Award nominations, including a “Best Music Video” nod for his landmark single/visual, ‘I’m Not Racist’ – now with over 136 million views – as well as a “Best Rap Song” nomination honouring Eminem’s worldwide smash, ‘Lucky You (Feat. Joyner Lucas)’.
Lucas stands tall among hip-hop’s most in-demand collaborators and featured artists, including Meek Mill’s ‘Run It (Feat. Joyner Lucas)’, Too $hort’s ‘Ain't My Girlfriend (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Jeremih, French Montana, Joyner Lucas)’, ‘Wrote My Way Out Remix (Feat, Royce Da 5'9", Joyner Lucas, Black Thought, Aloe Blacc)’ – originally featured on 2016’s chart-topping THE HAMILTON MIXTAPE – and Eminem’s ‘Lucky You (Feat. Joyner Lucas)’, the latter of which reached #6 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” – Lucas’ top 10 debut and highest chart placement to date – before earning a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rap Song.” Moreover, ‘Lucky You (Feat. Joyner Lucas)’ proved an international blockbuster, ascending to the top 10 on charts in such far-flung locales as Australia, Canada, Finland, Greece, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The “Lucky You” companion video was equally popular, now with over 133 million views via YouTube.
Lucas first heralded the ADHD project in late 2018 with ‘I Love’, which premiered exclusively via Apple Music’s Beats 1 as Zane Lowe’s World Record, and continued with the 2019 arrival of ‘Devil’s Work’. Fraught with frustration, rage, and sadness, the track sees Lucas paying his respects to deceased musicians such as 2Pac, Michael Jackson, and Nipsey Hussle, while also provocatively suggesting a few people "who deserve to die instead.”
