Exclusive Interview by HipHopSince1987
HipHopSince1987: Joey, you’ve been in the game since your school days. Take us back—what was it like first finding your voice at Riverdale Academy?
JoeyEaz: Growing up in the Bronx, you’re surrounded by pure energy—music blasting from windows, people on the corner freestyling, all that culture in your face every day. Riverdale Academy was where I first learned I could turn that energy into my own sound. Talent shows were my first stages. I wasn’t just rapping—I was discovering who I was and how my words could move people. That early support gave me the confidence I still carry into every track.
HipHopSince1987: The Bronx will always be home for you, but you also spent time in Washington Heights. How did moving between boroughs influence your music?
JoeyEaz: The Bronx taught me grit—the raw foundation of hip-hop. Uptown in Washington Heights brought a whole different vibe—the Dominican roots, the reggaeton rhythms, the soul in the streets. Being in those two worlds made me fearless about mixing sounds. I never wanted to be boxed in.
HipHopSince1987: You’ve got this rare ability to hop from Hip-Hop to Pop to Reggaeton, Techno, and back. What fuels that versatility?
JoeyEaz: It’s all about emotion. Each genre has its own heartbeat. If I’m in a nostalgic mood, that’s when I lean toward pop. If I want to make people dance, I’ll hit reggaeton or techno. Hip-hop is my truth—it’s my core. I don’t overthink it. I just follow the vibe and let it guide the record.
HipHopSince1987: Fans say your music feels personal—like you’re speaking directly to them. Is that intentional?
JoeyEaz: Definitely. I’m not here just to show off—I’m here to connect. I know what struggle feels like, I know what hope feels like, I know the grind when nobody believes in you. So when I’m writing, I picture the person who needs to hear that message. If they feel seen, then I’ve done my job.
HipHopSince1987: You perform all over NYC. How does the stage shape you as an artist?
JoeyEaz: The stage is where it all comes alive. Whether it’s an open mic in Brooklyn or a packed venue in the Bronx, the energy is unmatched. People dancing, vibing, crying—it’s real. That connection fuels my writing and keeps me hungry.
HipHopSince1987: What’s your process when you’re in the studio?
JoeyEaz: I start with the emotion first. If I’m hyped, heartbroken, or inspired, I freestyle to catch the feeling, then go back and lock in the bars. Storytelling is key for me, but the delivery has to hit you in the chest. Every line has to mean something.
HipHopSince1987: Social media has clearly played a big role in your come-up. How do you approach it?
JoeyEaz: I treat social media like an ongoing mixtape. Everything I post has a purpose—freestyles, raw studio clips, unreleased snippets. People want authenticity, not just glossy edits. My online presence is just an extension of my stage.
HipHopSince1987: What’s something about you your fans might not know?
JoeyEaz: [Laughs] People don’t realize how much I love melodies. I can sing, harmonize, and I produce a bit, too. I’ve written for pop singers, rappers, even EDM artists. I like being involved in the entire record, not just the verses.
HipHopSince1987: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
JoeyEaz: Touring the world, inspiring kids from the same blocks I came from. I want to launch a label and give more Dominican and Latino artists their shine. But most importantly, I just want to keep making music that matters.
HipHopSince1987: Any final words for your supporters?
JoeyEaz: Thank you for every stream, every comment, every time you pull up to a show. We’re not even close to done. This is just the beginning—one track at a time, we’re building something global. We just signed a major distribution deal with Roc Nation Distribution through Tony DeYoung Entertainment.
