East coast rappers Dave East and Joyner Lucas are teaming up for the very first time for "Traffic," a banger for those gym workouts.

"I think I'm LeBron when I'm walkin' through Cleveland / Pablo and Joyner, the conference Eastern (Eastern)." These are two lines that perfectly encapsulate what Dave East and Joyner Lucas' "TRAFFIC" is all about. It's a gung-ho track that sees the respective MCs body their verses just like LeBron does when he puts defenders on a poster. It's an entertaining listen all throughout the 4:00 runtime as East and Lucas feel like they are competing for who can rap faster. You'll certainly need a bit of a breather after it concludes. But it's one that's perfect for those hardcore gym workouts or a pre-game warmup. Check it out below.

Release Date: January 30, 2026

Genre: Rap

Quotable Lyrics from "Traffic"

Somebody take the wheel, that Henny got me on a crazy spill (Woah)
I feel like I wanna go chase a thrill, but really, I'd rather go chase these mills (Boom, boom)
Since I was a kid, I been raisin' hell (Boom), I really just should've straight to jail (Boom)
For poppin' my sh*t, but it ain't no pills, you know how I get when I break the seal (For real)

Zachary Horvath is one of the Music Freelance News Writers at HotNewHipHop and has held that title since August 2023. Prior to this position, he held another freelance gig covering local high school football, girls and boys varsity basketball, in addition to recapping Cleveland Cavaliers games remotely. He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
