The expression of talent comes in different forms. Music, one of the most popular forms of expression, has many fine intellectuals who have laid down their lives as servants of the form like Gary Maurice Lucas, Jr., who goes by the stage name Joyner Lucas. The songwriter, poet, singer and rapper is currently signed to Atlantic Records and has made a name for himself since making music professionally in the early 2000s.
Joyner Lucas Bio and Ethnicity
Joyner began his career as G-Storm when he began rapping at the age of ten. Inspired by the works of Method Man, Nas, The Notorious BIG and Eminem, he later made his first poster music with the latter.
He started rapping as a craftsman and later formed a group called Film Skool Rejekts. At the time, Joyner was working with his uncle and they released a mixtape called Workprint: The Greatest Mixtape of All Time within the first year of the group’s formation. The group released their mixtape in 2007, then Joyner went with the stage name Future Joyner and released his first mixtape under the stage name Future in 2011. However, he had to drop it when rapper Future became famous. In order to create a unique identity for himself, Joyner thought it would make sense to drop “Future” from his stage name and simply perform as Joyner Lucas.
Joyner is currently signed to Atlantic Records and has seen a significant rise in his profile. It is the culmination of a journey that began when he attended South High Community School in Worcester. Sitting in his room and hearing Eminem’s voice coming through his player, the songwriter may not have expected that he would one day be on a track with his idol. He was featured on White Rapper’s 2018 album, Kamikaze. The song they did together (Lucky You) debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Born on August 17, 1988 in Worcester, Massachusetts, the American rapper has released four solo mixtapes to date, with his third and fourth mixtapes receiving critical praise. His mixtape, Along Came Joyner released in 2015 featured one of his more well-received songs, Ross Capicchioni . It was such a success that BET considered him a special feature at the 2015 BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher. Another mixtape he released in 2017 peaked at #7 on the Heatseekers album chart on Billboard.
Since breaking out into the mainstream, Joyner Lucas has collaborated with a number of established artists. He has a mixtape called Angels and Demons with Chris Brown that will be released soon. He released a single from the project on February 26, 2018. Another important collaboration was with Eminem on his Kamikaze album.
