Joyner Lucas has released his latest single, “Seventeen,” from his upcoming album, Not Now, I’m Busy. The song is a masterful sampling flip of Mac Miller’s 2011 hit “Donald Trump” and is a heartfelt homage to the late and great rapper.
The track begins with Joyner Lucas paying his respects to Mac Miller, starting with a “Rest In Peace Mac Miller” shoutout in the song’s intro. This tribute showcases Mac Miller’s deep impact on the music industry and the respect he garnered from fellow artists.
In addition to releasing the single, Joyner Lucas surprised fans with a corresponding music video for “Seventeen.” The video was shot at his newly opened frozen yogurt spot, “Oh Wow Frozen Yogurt and Smoothies,” located in Northborough, Massachusetts, near his hometown.

Joyner Lucas’ long string of singles continues with another release on September 8. The Worcester Massachusetts rapper recently put out “Seventeen” ahead of his next full-length project, Not Now, I’m Busy. Lucas attempted this same formula for his first album back in 2020, ADHD. For the rollout of that LP, he went on to drop nine singles starting in October 2018. ADHD did not hit streaming until March of 2020. Will he give the same type of treatment for Not Now, I’m Busy? We will have to wait and see because according to HipHopNMore there is no timetable for when we will receive his fifth project.
In the meantime, Joyner is back with his sixth lead single, “Seventeen.” On this cut, he is spitting about his come-up from his rough upbringing. On the first verse, he talks about manifesting his dreams from when he was a kid. He raps, “They never knew that one day all this s*** I be dreamin’ about, I’d be livin’ it (Ayy) / Jump out the window and took the advantage, I know my potential is limitless (Joyner).”

The real selling point of this song is the sample. When the instrumental begins the high-pitched kid vocals might ring a bell to you. They are familiar because they are the ones in Mac Miller’s smash hit “Donald Trump.” Miller passed away five years ago on September 7 and it is fitting that “Seventeen was released just one day after the anniversary of his passing. Lucas shouts out Mac at the beginning saying, “Rest in peace Mac Miller,” while he recreates an opening shot from the “Donald Trump” music video. All in all, it is a solid track that pays its respects to one of the truly special talents in hip-hop history.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand new track, “Seventeen,” by Joyner Lucas? Is this the best single for his next album? Did he do a good job tributing Mac Miller’s hit?

I told them, “It’s easy to quit, but it’s harder to try” (Uh-huh)

I had to fend for myself, ain’t have no one to talk when n***** was talkin’ to God

Last month, Joyner Lucas released the first single from his upcoming album, Not Now, I’m Busy. The emotional track, “Devil’s Work 2,” saw the rapper speaking on recent losses, like the murder of PnB Rock. Joyner treats the song as a conversation with God, asking the hard questions about death and telling Him that it seems like He doesn’t care. It provides a bird’s eye view of the culture at large, as well as a wish to undo the trauma experienced within it. The track was a powerful start to the new record.
Now, Joyner has released the second single from his upcoming album. The new effort is titled “Blackout,” and Joyner has enlisted Future as a featured artist. At just over 3 minutes, the track is slick and catchy. Lyrically, both the Massachusetts native and Hendrix speak on coming up and the rap lifestyle. It serves as a reminder of Joyner’s versatility. He’s no stranger to hard-hitting trap songs, but the difference between this and the 34-year-old’s last offering shows his ability to speak on a wide range of topics and do it well. He’s definitely not a one-trick pony.
“Blackout” opens with the hard-hitting kicks, claps, and hi-hats typical of trap songs. Behind them, a descending harp repeats, providing an atmospheric and dramatic background for Joyner to start rapping over. His flow sounds right at home over the beat. Halfway through the track, Future comes in for his verse. His tone melds perfectly with Joyner’s. Keen to show off their flexibility, both rappers switch up the flow several times throughout the song. It may not have the lyrical depth of “Devil’s Work 2,” but it’s definitely the kind of track you want to play on repeat.
“Blackout” is the fourth track on Joyner’s Now Now, I’m Busy. Since the album is due to be released on August 18, it’s safe to say we can expect a few more singles from the album before it gets released in full. If the first two arrivals are anything to go off of, the album might be the lyricist’s best work yet. You can stream the new single on YouTube above. Let us know what you think in the comments!
Quotable Lyrics:
Watch me take some bricks and soap and turn it to a bankroll
Used to wanna get rich like Hov, until I met Jeff Bezos
Billionaire invites, that’s the shit that you can’t pay for
Levelled up and made some pesos, now your bitch wanna give me besos
First to do it, bitch, I’m Draco
If you want that drama, you gon’ get just what you paid for
‘Fore I got a check, I went and bought my mom a Range Rover
Wasn’t new, but it was paid for, I said “One day, we’ll be straight though”
