On April 1st, the hip-hop artist released his latest album <em data-start=\"521\" data-end=\"534\">MUD PLUG II<\/em>, a project born from a pure love for creating music that\u2019s as real as it gets. In a world flooded with surface-level vibes, Joey dives deep, delivering something the rap game\u2019s been missing: authenticity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"896\">\u201cI wanted to make a body of work that\u2019s real and consistent,\u201d Joey shares. \u201cStuff that feels honest, something the industry hasn\u2019t been getting enough of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1258\">Joey keeps it straightforward when it comes to making music. \u201cIf a beat makes the bars start flowing in my head immediately\u2014that\u2019s the one,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s all about that gut reaction, the kind of rhythm that moves your body and your spirit.
