The iconic “Joey Crack” classic is likely the introduction for many non-East Coast listeners to his music. The infectious beat exudes the classic Terror Squad vibes, while Joe’s raw, authentic rap style transports us to the streets, resonating with all who listen.

Yo, Yo, I stand alone in this cold world, could you believe that?
I’ve seen some good men get blown over G-packs
In the Bronx where it’s known to hear the heat clap
And live niggas get it on with the D-techs, SHIT, my life’s legendary
If I wrote down all in a book it would be very scary

As described above, Joe puts you in his shoes with this vivid street imagery.

I could EASILY GET YOUR ASS TOUCHED
And that sucks, ain’t nobody could fuck with this
Pull a Suge move and make you take a bucket of piss
For runnin’ your lips
Got the fifth stuck in your ribs, don’t make me…
Splash your lungs right in front of your kids
I’m a basketcase, don’t ever give this bastard space
Or I’mma have your ass erased

Love the double syllables Joe used here. Nice touch.
