Why doesn't Joyner Lucas get more exposure?

I feel sorry for him although I’m sure he’s doing okay. He can rap but when he tries to make a regular/crossover song them hoes do not hit. He gets flack for doing concept songs/videos all the time but those are the only ones that get any attention. He’s kind of stuck at this point cause I’m sure he’s running low on concepts/gimmicks.

He's a fantastic lyricist and that Ross Cappichino or however you spell it songs Is one of the best storytelling tracks I've ever heard

But

His image is corny and I see right through it.

He tries to come off street and gangsta but he's not.

I can tell he's a good square type of guy but he has to "look" the part because he's a rapper, hence all of the tattoos.

Also, his excessive use of the Nword in his music is his way of trying to come off as more edgy and street.

J, Cole & Cordae does this too. Use the Nword excessively to come off as edgy/street

his debut album went gold

i honestly don't listen to him because he doesn't make appealing music to me - he's gimmicky in some ways, and doesn't seem to really have a personality

he makes suburban nikka rap music - like logic, nav, russ, etc.

not that he isn't talented - it just isn't compelling

I listen to his music. He’s alright. Good enough that I check for his projects but he’s not at the top of any lists.

My favorite track by him is I Lied off ADHD.
