Joint and a Jukebox, the latest single from Lousiville’s Joey Phantom, is a sublimely chill smoking track. The laidback flow presented during the song’s first minute by JP is gradually increased in speed until his flow reaches a blinding speed. The backing instrumentation is fantastic, blending together the 1970s-inspired approach of J Dilla before screwing and chopping the beat in the cut’s final minute. There’s a lot of things occurring here, but Joey Phantom is able to create a cohesive sound incorporating these distinct keys, synths, and vocal patois into something brilliant.
