Gary Maurice "Joyner" Lucas Jr. (born August 17, 1988)[1] is an American rapper, actor and entrepreneur.

Lucas first received widespread exposure and critical acclaim after the release of his single "Ross Capicchioni" in 2015.

Since 2016, Lucas has also become known for remixing popular hip hop songs like "Gucci Gang" by Lil Pump, "Bank Account" by 21 Savage, "Panda" by Desiigner, "DNA" by Kendrick Lamar and many others.

[24] On April 1, 2018, Lucas released the single "Frozen", a song focused on different forms of reckless driving.

[25] On July 31, 2018, Lucas announced that he was forced to cancel appearances in the Australian and European legs of his I'm Kind of a Big Deal tour due to hoarseness and laryngitis.

The song debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Lucas' first top 10 entry on the chart.

The EP featured appearances from The Game, iyla, Ashanti, Rick Ross and Elijah James.

Lucas contributed a song titled "Shoot My Shot" to the Space Jam: A New Legacy soundtrack.

However, due to the backlash of West making antisemitic remarks, Lucas removed it from streaming services months later.

That was interrupted however by the announcement on October 29, 2022, that Lucas would be shooting a movie with good friend and fellow Boston native Mark Wahlberg.

On March 8, 2023, Lucas uploaded to social media, announcing that the cover art for his upcoming studio album would be released soon with a single released on March 10, 2023, called "Devil's Work 2", the sequel to the original song from his debut album ADHD.

The album's sixth single, "Sticks & Stones" with American rapper Conway the Machine, was released the same day, accompanied by a music video.

He explained that people surrounding him, including his own parents, made him feel like he was not normal and treated him differently as a result.

Lucas expressed interest in collaborating with Logic on the song "Sriracha" and felt that he could add to the display of fast-flow rapping, and Tech acquiesced.

[37] Logic was originally slated to be the only feature on "Sriracha", but when he spent over six months to deliver his verse, Lucas hopped on the track to offer his own.

[37] On his remix of Future's "Mask Off", Joyner, unhappy by the work Logic turned in after taking nearly half a year to edit his verse, directly addressed the disappointing display.

[38] In 2019, the two rappers ended their feud, which was revealed when Logic made a guest appearance on Joyner Lucas' song "ISIS", the third single from ADHD.

[43] This dispute would prove to be short-lived, when in less than two days Hopsin shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Lucas, indicating that they finally made peace, but still wanted people to consider who would beat the other in a rap battle.

Incredulous, Lucas immediately responded by inviting Lanez to a battle rapping challenge and telling him to let the public decide who is better.

The next day, Lanez dropped a freestyle over Eminem's "Lucky You", of which Lucas made a guest appearance on.

On the track, he mentions Tory's being accused of plagiarism in 2016, when listeners noticed that the ending of Lanez's song "4am Flex" was similar to Kendrick Lamar's "The Art of Peer Pressure".

[46] The end of this rivalry was made public on August 8, 2019, when Joyner Lucas and Tory Lanez collaborated on their remix of "Suge" by DaBaby.
