New England MC Joyner Lucas took his first trip outside the Unites States several weeks ago, accompanied by the Motion Family crew, to shoot the video to his first single, “Riding Solo” ft. Busy Signal in Kingston, Jamaica. The result is a visual that is as authentic to Joyner’s lyrical struggle tale as it is to reigning dancehall king Busy Signal’s. The moral of this story appears to be that no matter where in the world you call home, a hood is a hood is a hood and the obstacles to attaining your dream are the same.
Joyner has been making quite a name for himself this year and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. The 6’2″ lyrical beast has amassed respect from a myriad of media outlets including Pitchfork, HipHopDX, Revolt and Respect. He has also had the pleasure of entertaining the infamous SOB’s crowd at Hot 97’s ‘Who’s Next’ showcase. Look to see a good deal more from this man in the future.
“Riding Solo” will appear on Joyner’s upcoming album, “Along Came Joyner” which is expected to drop in early 2015.
