Joyner Lucas & Jelly Roll Share Addiction Message On New Single “Best For Me”

Joyner Lucas is set to release his next album, “Not Now, I’m Busy,” soon. Initially, the album was expected to drop in 2023, but Joyner Lucas decided to make some changes due to the negative feedback on the singles. The album is heavily tweaked and pushed back, but fans of Joyner Lucas will not have to wait too long before they can listen to it. One of the new tracks on the album is “Best For Me,” featuring Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll, a famous country music artist, has always caught the attention of his fans, and by collaborating on a conscious hip-hop track, this attention has only heightened. Although this may seem like a departure from his usual style, it’s worth noting that he has been involved in the hip-hop scene for a long time. He has previously worked with legendary rap groups like Three 6 Mafia and UGK. Despite his focus on country music, Jelly Roll deeply appreciates hip-hop and often incorporates its elements into his work. He knows how to blend different genres seamlessly, including his flow, wordplay or production style. With his latest collaboration, Jelly Roll continues to break down barriers and explore new creative avenues.

It makes perfect sense for Jelly and Joyner to collaborate on this highly personal single especially as they come from personal experiences too. The song deals with drug addiction, and Joyner Lucas raps from his perspective and that of his unnamed friend. The track is similar to his politically focused “I’m Not Racist,” where he provided his perspective on a sensitive topic. Jelly Roll’s soulful chorus and vocal performance add more emotion to the track. “Best For Me” had to have been a formidable record to write as Joyner Lucas talks about a friend who is suffering from drug addiction. The lyrics are highly personal, and the chorus resonates with the listener, creating a powerful emotional connection. Joyner Lucas fans can look forward to ‘Not Now, I’m Busy,’ and the collaboration with Jelly Roll will surely be a highlight of the album.
