Joey Badass Dives Into The Introspective Lane For ‘Trust Nobody’ With DJ Scheme

Joey Badass joins Ty Dolla Sign, Cordae, Lil Yachty, Lil Keed, and more on DJ Scheme’s ‘Family’ album. …

After staying quiet for over three years, Joey Badass is back on the music scene and his return has come mostly in the form of guest appearances. The Brooklyn rapper made his first feature in 2020 through Westside Gunn’s Pray For Paris album on “327” with Tyler The Creator and Billie Essco. Other appearances came on Statik Selektah’s “Keep It Moving” and on Phony Ppl’s “On My Sh*t.” Adding another one to the list, Joey joins DJ Scheme on “Trust Nobody” which lands on the Florida producer’s new album, Family.

The track sees Joey dive straight into the introspective lane as he reflects on his own mental health and questions the intentions of the people that surround him. The rapper speaks on some of the memories he hoped to live out with past friends, but can’t as they’ve passed away and left him to carry the ideas and visions alone. Elsewhere, he brings the paranoia he holds in life to the forefront and shows listeners that he constantly second-guesses a number of things in his life.

DJ Scheme’s Family album is a 17-track effort that calls on Lil Yachty, Skrillex, Lil Keed, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Mosey, Zacari, and more. The project was also preceded by “Soda” with Cordae, Ski Mask The Slump God, and Take A Daytrip.

Press play on the video above to listen to “Trust Nobody.”

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”

Leyla Romanova

Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.

“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.

The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”

J'mall

J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.

“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.

The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
