Joyner brings a whole bunch of diverse cast members, including a posthumous DMX feature.

Joyner Lucas has been trying to perfect his sophomore album, Not Now, I'm Busy, for quite some time now. The Massachusetts rapper detailed his creative process in a lengthy Instagram post. The tape has gone through tons of reworks, especially the tracklist. In his message to the fans, he made sure to acknowledge that he has been mindful of their feedback. Today, the LP will see what its fate will be in the coming weeks.

Even though "Seventeen," which is a tribute to Mac Miller's classic track "Donald Trump," did not receive the most glowing reviews, it still made it. But, Joyner Lucas did scrap a ton of previous promotional singles such as "Blackout" and "Devil's Work 2." He did impress us with "Sticks & Stones" and "Best For Me." Each one boasted impressive guest performances from Conway the Machine and Jelly Roll, respectively.
