With the beef thrown aside, Joyner Lucas enlists Logic for “Isis,” the electrifying third single released in advance of his highly-anticipated LP, ‘ADHD.’

“Me and Joyner need a couple hearses… / What’s beef? / Beef is when you murder motherf*ckers on a beat, kill ‘em all, kill ‘em all.” Hmm, apparently, the beef is off between rappers Joyner Lucas and Logic. Lucas taps the ever-prolific Bobby Hall for his single “Isis.” “ISIS” arrives as the third single from Lucas’ much-anticipated 2019 album, ADHD. Interestingly, twice on “Isis,” there are interludes reference ADHD the mental disorder. This occurs on the intro and the post-first verse prior to the chorus. “According to the American Psychiatric Association / It affects roughly eight percent of children… / Commonly believed to only affect boys / Because they are perceived as rowdy and rambunctious.”
Following the intro, Joyner Lucas drops a fiery chorus, filled with counting – “…Five times for the bitches who ain’t called back (Yeah) / Six times for the kids like me who got ADHD just to…” Lucas goes on to drop an epic, turnt-up verse, referencing ‘ISIS’ early on. His fire is further fueled by mean-sounding, minor-key production.
“Got a metal in the truck, I keep a semi when I’m bussin’
N*ggas duckin’ (Bop)
Even Stevie Wonder could’ve see it comin’ (Brrrap, brap, bop).”
Couple that with his kick ass flow and “Isis” is ‘on 10’ early-on. Logic adds his two cents on the second verse, dropping an electrifying verse in his own right, perfectly suited for this particular joint. The aforementioned references to the ‘beef’ hail from top of his verse btw. As always, he has his share of clever lines including referencing Regis and Kelly (“Yes, it’s egregious, I’m Regis / You Kelly, you pussy, you pussy”) and of course, murder. Yeah, Logic seems to be ‘killer’ at that… no pun intended…
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, Joyner Lucas and Logic are absolutely sick on “Isis.” That’s not surprising given how electrifying both rappers are when it comes to flows alone. Furthermore, both serve up some memorable, potent rhymes, further amplified by the ferocious backdrop. Who isn’t glad this beef has been squashed when this is the ensuing result?
