Critical Praise:
“At 20 years old, Wolfacejoeyy has built a cult following on SoundCloud thanks to his production style and unique lyricism.” – Variety
“‘Joeyy packs so much fun into the song that all you can focus on is having as great of a time as he is.” – PITCHFORK
“‘Now, at 21, Joeyy knows he’s on the cusp of musical renown.” – HYPEBEAST
“Combining the best elements of Jersey club and New York drill to create fresh, lighthearted hits that are instantly recognizable, Joeyy’s tender vocals, fresh production and undeniably infectious hooks have allowed the “buku” artist to flourish beyond first-listen value; he’s a breath of fresh air.” – Complex
“The result is a unique blend of current rap genres that will make you want to get sturdy on your feet. It’s not too serious, but at the same time, it’s done with precision, which comes from the working relationship 22Joeyy has established since beginning to work together three years ago.” – BET
“He’s making the kind of songs that get stuck in your head after just a few listens.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“‘His sound is a fusion of other popular elements, though it is strikingly original and in-your-face. It sounds familiar yet different, subtly urging listeners to decode his music on repeat. He’s got a knack for making quality music, and his latest drops are a testament to that.” – ONE37PM
The Two-Pack:
Infusing his infectious personality into a unique blend of sounds, wolfacejoeyy is well on his way to rap stardom. Ready to take his career to the next level, the 21-year-old artist shares “cake” / “don’t be dishonest,” a double single, plus a music video for “cake.” Joeyy has been teasing the highly-anticipated tracks on socials, generating over 160K combined views and over 6.5K creations on TikTok.
Leading off the two-pack is “cake,” a sexy drill anthem that finds Joeyy admiring the effect his girl has on him: “I told her she sexy, she said peroid, purr.” While fear of heartbreak prevents him from giving her his whole heart, he expresses his desire to spend time with her and his confidence that he can make this happen. “cake” arrives with a brand new music video, in which Joeyy retreats to a swanky Manhattan hotel room with several beauitful women for a playful pillow fight.
The second single “don’t be dishonest” continues Joeyy’s love-struck vibe, leaning more into sensual production and silky background vocals, as he remains confident as ever in his ability to win over any girl that he chooses. Wasting no time playing games, he asks his girl to step back and see the truth: “Baby let’s be honest / Everytime we had a problem baby girl I solved it / Treat you better than your ex you know I promise.” Joeyy premiered “don’t be dishonest” in a From the Block performance last week, building even more hype for the long-awaited track.
The “cake” / “don’t be dishonest” double single arrives as wolfacejoeyy’s second release of the year, following up “wya,” his high-energy January single (177k streams), and comes hot on the heels of his inclusion on Complex’s list of Rappers to Watch in 2024. “Wya” and “don’t be dishonest”/”cake” arrive after a breakout 2023 for the young rapper, in which he partnered with producer Whereis22 (aka the actor Michael Rainey Jr., from POWER on Starz), on the acclaimed EP 22Joeyy. The album featured the single “weekend” ft. Cash Cobain & Chow Lee, acclaimed by Pitchfork, and additional guest spots from SoFaygo and B-Lovee. Joeyy discussed the project in an interview with BET, and a profile in HYPEBEAST that came out earlier this month.
After the success of 22Joeyy and a tour slot opening for Eem Triplin, and a headlining show just this weekend at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, Joeyy enters 2024 with a head of steam. Stay tuned for much more music from Joeyy in the near future.
Stay tuned for much more from Wolfacejoeyy this year!
