Joyner Lucas Thanks Eminem, Logic, Chris Brown, Rihanna & More

Joyner Lucas has never been one to hold back his admiration for his fellow artist, and following the release of his brand new Evolution project, the rapper took it upon himself to share some kind words to some of his biggest inspirations. On his official Facebook page, Lucas penned a lengthy thank-you message, the likes of which might have once been found within the album’s liner notes. And though liner notes have largely become a thing of the past — unfortunately, as perusing them was a highlight of the CD era — Joyner appears ready and willing to keep the tradition alive.

“Big thank you to my bro Chris Brown for being the first super star to embrace me and put me on tour,” he writes. “Our relationship goes beyond music. Pause. Big thank you to Rihanna for being a good ear and great friend & also guiding me with information that has helped me. U made me try caviar for the first time in london.” He proceeds to thank both Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg, whom he deems an “uncle figure,” before turning to some of his biggest collaborators so far — Eminem and Logic, with whom he worked on “Lucky You” and “Isis” (which recently went platinum) respectively. 

“Thank you to Eminem for letting me be apart of history and embracing me as well,” he pens. “Thank you for always mentioning me as one of your favorites as you are mine. Thank you to the homie Logic for always checking in on me and always giving me advice and being a bro. We had our differences but now we closer than ever.” Among others, Joyner makes sure to include Royce Da 5’9, T.I, Boi-1da, Ty Dolla $ign, Ashanti, Will Smith, Monica, and more. For those interested in catching Joyner’s message, be sure to check it out over at his official Facebook page.

Yonatan’s “Jah Is My Guide” is a soulful journey rooted in faith and island vibes

h

Yonatan, the gifted singer from the pulsating island of Martinique, shares his latest spiritual track, “Jah Is My Guide.” This recording is a spiritual song inspired by the timeless Psalms of David, a unique combination of soulful music and a message of faith and inspiration. “Jah Is My Guide” envelops the listener in a tuneful sense of sincerity. Yonatan’s sound boasts authenticity, encouraging listeners to life’s ups and downs through spiritual affirmation. Using the Psalms for inspiration, the song taps a universal longing for strength, wisdom, and protection, which, as themes, never really become aged but instead seem incredibly personal and relatable.

What stands out about this single is the way in which Yonatan is able to incorporate that island reach into the music, however, without sacrificing its holy essence. The rhythms subtly bounce toward Martinique’s rich musical heritage, which gives the song a vital heartbeat that manages to feel both contemporary and timeless. It’s a potent reminder of how old-time spirituality and newfangled artistry mesh seamlessly. Listeners will feel enveloped in a meditative bubble, each verse like a conversation with the divine. Production is slick and slick, taking a backseat to Yonatan’s vocals and the depth in the lyrics. For Yonatan, “Jah Is My Guide” has become a testament to the inspiring power and hope that music can provide.

It provides a spiritual compass for those of us adrift on the uncertain waters of life, and we are all reminded that when faith is our guide, we are never lost both for peace and direction. “Jah Is My Guide” is simply a must listen for lovers of music that feeds the soul and taps into deep spiritual concepts. Yonatan has written a song that reflects the venerable tradition of the Psalms and celebrates his special island identity, a mix that carries with it the potential to inspire and uplift across lands and lifetimes.
