ADHD 2 Reloaded
In a fun bit of irony, Joyner Lucas spent the lead-up to the release of his 2025 LP, ADHD 2, with his attention elsewhere. After Skepta called out Lucas on his July single “Friendly Fire,” the Massachusetts-born spitter took a pause and addressed Skepta’s diss in a scathing retort entitled “NOBODY CARES." While it’s unrelated in spirit and theme to the rapper’s third LP, Joyner knows the rules of rap: If you get dissed, you diss back. On “NOBODY CARES," his lyricism, flows and rhyme schemes are superlative, which he showcases throughout ADHD 2 as well. Take “One of Them,” which features skittering synths and stomping drums. Lucas promises 2025 is the year he’s “gotta make shit bloody." Elsewhere, he turns contemplative, like on the blackbear-assisted “Anxiety Wins” and the pre-release single “White Noise."
