Joey Bada$$ – Lonely At The Top
Released: 29 August 2025
Joey Bada$$‘s label completely fumbles this album release – no proper rollout, no bundles, no proper singles treatment. Supaflee and Ready to Love are hit records READY TO GO! Underwater is one of Joey‘s best songs. This album deserved better from the label! (and deserved a better album cover, wtf is this??).
