After sharing the info, Joey said he doesn’t want the three tracks to be labeled as an EP.

“Don’t call it an EP, I hate that,” he declared. “It’s 3 songs, bundled together. #TheLightPack.”

He also called out ungrateful fans, mocking people complaining over the brevity of his upcoming release.

“I literally watched you niggas beg me for A SINGLE for 3 years, now I return with 3 songs and niggas mad it ain’t an album?” he wrote with the Ed Lover “C’mon Son” gif.

Joey keeping it short and sweet shouldn’t come as a surprise in light of some comments he made in May. During an interview with Complex, the Brooklyn-bred MC criticized long albums.

“I hate when motherfuckers put out an album longer than 14 songs,” he said. “Nobody wants to fucking listen to that.”

Joey hasn’t released a solo project since 2017’s ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ LP. Last year, he teamed up with members of Pro Era, Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers for the Beast Coast supergroup’s debut album Escape From New York.
