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.

“All in Time” by Olivia Reid stirs a serenade and lullaby for the soul

Olivia Reid

There’s something magical about how Olivia Reid uniquely creates an intimate yet expansive song that captures the quiet poetry inherent in everyday life. Her beautiful newest winter single, “All in Time,” paints a sonorous landscape as tranquil as fresh snowfall, inviting listeners into a winter’s dreamscape where the rhythmic warmth melts the chill. The composition reflects the natural cycles of existence, encompassing both seasons of movement and stillness while encouraging audiences to embrace both states without resistance.

All in Time” establishes an intentional, meditative pace from the initial pluck of the light acoustic guitar. Each crunching step feels grounding and ethereal, like a slow walk through frost-covered trees. Reid’s voice, delicate yet brimming with emotion, glides effortlessly over the instrumentals, evoking the reflective indie-folk spirit of Maggie Rogers’ Alaska and the hushed intimacy of Norah Jones. There’s wisdom in her delivery and an understanding that not every moment needs to be rushed, but certain seasons call for rest just as much as they are periods of activity.

The production, meticulously co-crafted in collaboration with indie luminary Tim Atlas, is distinguished by its clarity and crispness, reminiscent of winter air. It is subtly layered to foster an environment conducive to peaceful reflection, with mixing completed by Daniel Neiman and mastering executed by Grammy award-winner Jett Galindo. Amara Jaeger’s expertise in vocal engineering ensures Reid’s voice remains the heart of the song: pure, emotive, and comforting.

As the song progresses into its heartfelt crescendo, “All in Time” emerges as a profound source of reassurance. In an era that demands constant acceleration, Olivia Reid underscores the significance of cyclical dormancy, highlighting the necessity of periods where moving slowly and rest are not only permissible but essential. Winter should not be conceptualized solely as an endpoint; instead, it serves as a vital interlude that precedes rejuvenation. Ultimately, “All in Time” is a winter lullaby for the restless spirit, offering a nuanced analysis of key themes such as patience, healing, and the understated yet transformative power of simply existing.
