Joyner visits Hot 97 for an interview with Peter Rosenberg.
Joyner Lucas is currently working on his upcoming album ADHD and he made a visit to the Hot 97 for an interview with Peter Rosenberg. As he revealed last month that Eminem will appear on his upcoming project, he talks more about the Detroit rapper’s influence and about their upcoming song.
“So, The Slim Shady LP was the first album I brought, I was ten. I studied that rap.” says Joyner. “He was my favorite, and I knew he was going to remain my favorite. I studied his cadences, his wordplay, I was so amazed at how he made things rhyme that wasn’t supposed to rhyme. I completely missed out on my childhood. I spent my entire childhood writing music and listening to music. Eminem was the guy, always.”
“I always felt frustrated. The Kendricks, the Coles, the Drakes, I know they all know who I am. I was never acknowledged by them, but then I started realizing they don’t have acknowledge me. But I thought Eminem was too far-fetched.”
Joyner continues talking about their upcoming collaboration, “We got some joints. We got one coming out. This next record that I release with Marshall is going to be a storytelling record, and I promise, nobody heard him rap like this since ‘Stan’. This is vintage, ‘Stan’ storytelling, his best.” Watch the full interview below.
