GenZReview: “STILL” by Joey Bada$$ ft. Rapsody & Ab-Soul

Joey Bada$$ returns with “STILL,” the final single from his upcoming album Lonely at the Top, set to release on August 29, 2025. This track offers a contemplative departure from his earlier work, featuring contributions from Rapsody and Ab-Soul.

The song’s production, crafted by Statik Selektah, is anchored by a somber piano loop that sets a reflective tone. Joey’s verse delves into themes of perseverance and self-awareness, delivering lines like, “I got that Stevie vision / Yeah, and this is a song in the key of my life / I put my soul in these mics, ain’t gotta think twice.”

Rapsody contributes a haunting hook that complements the track’s introspective mood, though some listeners might have hoped for a full verse from her. Ab-Soul’s verse adds depth, with vivid imagery and a confident delivery: “The fifth horseman appointed to redirect the apocalypse / In the Impala flippin’ the hydraulic switch / Steerin’ the wheel of fortune, still I’m ten steps ahead of these n****s / Something surely afoot.”

“STILL” stands out as a poignant moment on the album, showcasing a more introspective side of Joey Bada$$. While it may not have the commercial appeal of tracks like “ABK” or “DARK AURA,” its emotional depth and lyrical sincerity make it a compelling listen for fans seeking substance over style.
