Joyner Lucas Pays Homage to Kanye West on ‘Ye Not Crazy’

by

Joyner Lucas is coming to Ye’s defense.

After paying tribute to Will Smith on his 2020 single “Will,” the rapper is showing his support for another hip-hop icon, Kanye West, with his latest single “Ye Not Crazy.”

In the video, Joyner recreates Ye’s famous masked looks from his DONDA concerts. He raps on top of a Sherp ATV, another Ye signature, in one scene and even morphs his and Ye’s faces together.

“How do you spell crazy? G-E-N-I-U-S,” he raps. “What you know about mental health when you live in hell and you out of meds? / What the f**k is a meltdown when my meltdown is on a private jet?”

The self-proclaimed underdog shares how Ye inspired his hustle. “Labels ain’t wanna sign a check / Then I got on my Ye shit, turned every no to a solid yes,” he adds before name-checking Ye on the hook.

“Hold up, Ye’s not crazy … Even if they try to cancel me, that ain’t gon’ faze me.”

Joyner, whose last project Evolution dropped in October 2020, recently made headlines when he went off on Lollapalooza and Machine Gun Kelly, who he called a “goofy ass ni**a.” He later apologized for his rant.

Chris Brown is back with another bop.

After much teasing and anticipation, Chris Brown delivers his new single “WE (Warm Embrace).” On the seductive R&B jam, which samples Guy’s ’90s hit “Let’s Chill,” Breezy takes it to the bedroom.

“Temperature keeps rising like Poseidon when you ride my wave,” he sings on the nostalgic track. “Whisper your desires / I’ll provide ’em / Will you say you’ll stay tonight?”

“WE (Warm Embrace)” follows “Iffy” as the second release from Chris’ long-awaited 10th studio album Breezy, which is due this summer.

You can expect more feel-good vibes on the project, which will contain 16 tracks, like his 2005 self-titled debut.

Additionally, Chris can be heard on “Time N Affection” off Nigerian singer Rema’s new album Rave & Roses.

City Girls take it from Miami to New York on their new single “Top Notch” featuring Fivio Foreign.

Over a drill beat, Yung Miami pops off before JT comes through with a heavy verse. “Every bitch that hate on me got an ugly face and a botched body,” she raps. “I’m a bad bitch, I’m a Black Barbie.”

This marks the first release from the Quality Control duo since “Twerkulator” dropped in May of last year.

Along with the song, they have released a video, which finds them mobbing through NYC with Fivio and his crew.

Next Friday, Fivio is set to release his new album B.I.B.L.E featuring the singles “Magic City” with Quavo and “City of Gods” with Kanye West and Alicia Keys. Earlier this week, he also shot a video with Nicki Minaj for their collaboration “We Go Up.”
