TOP 3 SONGS

3. Deep End (Ft. YoungBoy Never Broke Again)

I think the chorus we get in “Deep End” is his best since “White Noise.” As a matter of fact, both are similar: they carry a ton of emotion and feature a legit singing performance from Joyner.

Aside from that, even though he recruited YoungBoy Never Broke Again, I like that Joyner leans into his vulnerable side, delivering bars about friendship dynamics and stiff-arming therapy. I also like how NBA YoungBoy mostly plays a supporting role, finding his pocket by adding that final melodic touch to the track. All in all, this song is as good as anything on the entire project, including the original.

2. Enemies

This feels like a much darker version of Lil Durk and J. Cole’s “All My Life.” The track is driven by dramatic production, featuring chilling piano notes layered with trap elements and heavy bass. You also get vocals from a children’s choir backing up Joyner’s almost detached vocals.

While Joyner’s verse is damn good, packed with emotional bars about fake friends and going to war with people who don’t f**k with him, it’s Kodak Black who steals the show. He delivers a verse where he slips in and out of tough-ass flows, including the one he used in “No Flockin,” while adding lines about how staying focused on money has kept him on a productive path. For real, Joyner got his money’s worth with this feature.

1. GTA 6

“GTA 6” is a reminder that Joyner Lucas puts belts to ass whenever he feels like it. Over an action-packed beat that sounds very similar to the one he used on “One Of Them,” Joyner blacks out, taking shots at Lil Pump fans, reflecting on his trap days, and letting us know he’s someone who treats women like rentals.

The chorus he delivers is one of the punchiest you’ll hear today, while he switches his flow relentlessly on his verses, sounding like a robot that grew up in the hood and was bullied by the big kids. To me, the track is too high-octane to just press skip on.

RGM RATING

I’m more convinced than ever that Joyner Lucas has a marketing problem.

Between ADHD 2 and this deluxe version, you get outstanding rap performances that should put him in the same conversation as Cole, Kendrick, and Drake, but the messy rollout doesn’t do him any favors. I genuinely had no clue this dropped. I only found out because the original version started pinging on our site again.

That said, this deluxe version of ADHD 2 is legit strong. The production is powerful, packed with dramatic elements, heavy bass, and solid trap foundations, while Joyner delivers heartfelt, passionate verses. He tackles real-life topics like fake friends, staying focused, personal growth, controlling his temper, and mental health, all with clarity and conviction.

You also get some sharp storytelling and standout features from NBA YoungBoy, Kodak Black, and Lihtz. Joyner clearly leaned on the younger voices here, and it works more often than not. His technical ability is on full display too, with clean flows, direct bars, and punchlines that land.

My only issue is that he occasionally steps into styles that don’t quite fit him. “Letter To Myself” feels like a Drake imitation, “Set It Off” comes off like a plug-and-play emotional trap record, “Crashing Down” sounds too familiar, and “Reconsider” feels like a leftover Cole-type record on an overdone topic. They’re not bad tracks, just less authentic.

All in all, this should be a much bigger release than it feels like, but right now, it’s flying under the radar.
