Joey Golden’s "where I’m from" totally produced by Thxk_U is a gritty, nostalgic album that captures the vibrancy of Sunnyside, Queens, with a nod to its evolving streets and car culture. Rooted in Golden’s 2000s hip-hop influences like 50 Cent and Lupe Fiasco, blends boom-bap production with a modern trap edge, creating a sound that’s both retro and fresh. His vivid lyricism paints a cinematic picture of bike lanes cutting through the neighborhood’s pulse, juxtaposed with the reckless flair
