Regarding the direction of the new album, Joey has hinted at exploring themes of love and romance.

This suggests a potential shift towards a more introspective and emotionally resonant project.
Fans can expect a blend of Joey’s signature boom-bap style with new thematic explorations. With the album set to release this summer, anticipation is building for what promises to be a significant addition to his discography.
