New single features heavyweight talents Rapsody and Ab-Soul

Joey Badass has released another Lonely At The Top teaser featuring Rapsody and Ab Soul.

This slow hip-hop-ballad is a soft to direct reality check. A sobering one not just for the listener, but perhaps Jozif Badmon.

Still Scores Beats Over Lyrics

Surely this is enough for now? Still features Ab-Soul and Rapsody on a ballad of introspection, who do well to seal the track — a diary of what has been and what may come.

Badass reveals a sentimental touch but it’s largely on the nose, chock-full of aging platitudes.

You’d expect a fresh album would source rich wordplay of new dimensions. But, this fresh track ends stale on a bumpy note.

Verdict

The production seers as an anchor point of poignancy, forming a story of brittle lives and untouched potential.

Badass chomps down, fetching narratives from his own trials — some dope, some cliche. Overall, it’s something that will break the charts, though is still as timid as they come, despite its alluring music.
