Joyner Lucas at Irving Plaza

The sensational hip hop star Joyner Lucas is a must-see live performer. Often cheered for his technical ability, the rapper delivers his signature brand of dense, reflective rhymes and hard-hitting production. Since erupting from the central Massachusetts underground circuit in the 2010s, Joyner Lucas has carved up a sound that rises from predecessors Jay Z, eminem, and 2Pac. The star made an epic entrance with early songs, such as "I'm Not Racist" and "Devil's Work." Boasting uncompromising socio-political worldviews, his tunes disrupted the industry, and "I'm Not Racist" snagged Joyner Lucas his first Grammy nomination. He clinched another well deserved nomination for Best Rap Song for “Lucky You,” with rap legend eminem. Joyner Lucas’ official studio debut, ADHD, landed in 2020 and so did epic tracks, including 2020's "Ramen & OJ" ft. Lil Baby, 2021's "Your Heart" ft. J. Cole, as well as 2023's "Devil's Work 2." And for 2024, he released his biggest opus yet, his sophomore record, Not Now, I'm Busy.
