At first, Lucas performed under the pseudonym GStorm. But then he changed it to Future Joyner, since he suited his personality better. Around this time he began working with Cyrus Tha the Great. Their collaboration seemed to work and they decided to form a band called Film Skool Rejekts where they could perform together.
When the band started working together, one of their first releases was Workprint: The Greatest Mixtape of All Time. Over time, Lucas also worked on his solo career and decided to release his own solo mixtape called Listen to Me. Since his stage name at that time was Future Joyner, he had to change his name at that time.
That’s because rapper Future was garnering mainstream hip-hop attention at the time and he didn’t want people to be confused about it. As a result, his last stage name appeared – Joyner Lucas. Over the next two years, he released mixtapes like LFO (Low Frequency Oscillators) and Ross Capicchioni.
Ross Capiccioni became a success and opened up new opportunities in his career as people in the industry began to take notice of him and his skills. With the promotion, he signed a contract with Atlantic Records, which felt like a turning point.
He released a mixtape with them called 5085072209 , which became a huge hit as several singles from the mixtape hit the Billboard charts. One of the best works of her career to date is the song “I’m not a razzist”, which quickly went viral on YouTube.
The song touched on a current issue during the run for the company, which was also highly controversial. Many people enjoyed the meaning and message that Lucas was trying to convey with this song, and the video was even nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video at the 61st Grammy Awards.
Personal Life
Lucas was in a relationship with Carmen Julissa Ayala, with whom he has a son named Joyner Messiah Lucas. His love for his son has led to his son appearing or being mentioned in many of his writings.
One of his albums is also titled ADHD based on his personal life since he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. On the album he shared various circumstances that he had to face in his life as a result of this diagnosis. It has been said that he was having an affair with Ashanti, but this does not appear to be true.
