Joey Trap has been applying pressure all year long. The New York native has continued to release music at a steady pace throughout the year, even with a global pandemic and a revolution going on outside. That being said, this week, he dropped off his new project titled, Playlist For The End Of The World, though the title might be bleaker than he intended it to be.
"This music is not to distract people from what’s going on, but instead to aid them [with] a soundtrack [for] battle,” Joey said about the project in a statement. “[These are] memories we will never forget! 2020 is a time for a change.”
His new project boasts 23 tracks and appearances from YBN Nahmir, Kxllswxtch, and ZEDSU. Check it out below.
