“In My Feelings” is a new single for Joell’s upcoming album “Autograph” and an honest account of challenges that artists face in the music industry.
The Slaughterhouse MC gave the song a short introduction:
In My Feelings is exactly that. Audio venting and reminding everyone who I am, my story and how I’m still turning pages. My pen moving over Heatmakerz production. No hook. Just real talk.
In this real talk Joell mentions being signed by Dr. Dre:
it still wasn’t enough to keep the doctor away
‘Cause yeah, shortly after that I signed to Dre
Y-A-O-W-A and NWAs own
Talk about facing the same danger that Kendrick Lamar saw later:
I was loyal to a fault
What they did for Kendrick Lamar they was tryna do for ya boy
But that didn’t include everybody inside the room
‘Cause Dre seen what I saw later, but it’s cool
And by the end of the track, Joell rolls in a fine metaphor comparing Slaughterhouse to a fire-breathing beast and Em to a fire marshal:
the four-headed monster flamed shit above average
Then they called the Fire Marshall, with the last name Mathers
