The Massachusetts-based rapper practically restarted his new album Not Now I’m Busy from scratch when it became clear that fans weren’t impressed with any new material he was releasing.

In the end, the 35-year-old (who spent his last album and era being open about his struggles with ADHD and how the reactions from his peers negatively affected him as a child) managed to get DMX and Jelly Roll to appear on the final record, which was mostly written with minimal help.

There probably won’t be any guest popups in downtown St. Pete on Tuesday night, but it’s been five years since we’ve seen Lucas perform (while opening for Chris Brown at Tampa’s Amalie Arena), so it won’t be a shock if this one sells out.

Tickets to see Joyner Lucas and Dax play St. Pete's Jannus Live on Tuesday, May 28 are still available and cost $35.
