Following a standout performance on A COLORS SHOW, Maryland’s own triple threat—rapper, producer, and songwriter Joony—continues his rise with the official release of his latest single, “Dopa(MINE).” The sultry track builds on the momentum of JRNY, his collaborative five-track EP with Jordan Ward.
In addition, Joony has a big weekend coming up. He’s set to perform next Saturday, April 12, at GV Black’s Party In My Living Room space at Coachella. That’s right, Joony is bringing his brand of R&B to the desert. His upcoming performance will echo the vulnerability at the heart of “Dopa(MINE),” according to a press release.
“‘Dopa(MINE)’ is a record of self-reflection, and admitting to yourself that you don’t feel whole without your other half—or your vice,” Joony shares with Remixd Magazine. “It’s written from the perspective of that other half asking if you feel whole without them. The question is meant to make you think deeply about the relationship you have with your vices and determine whether or not it’s a healthy one.”
Joony and his COLORS performance
The single’s visualizer offers a cinematic window into that emotional tug-of-war. Shot on Super 8 film, the video follows Joony leaning on an old-school pickup truck before wandering alone into the woods. The nature-forward, nostalgic aesthetic echoes the track’s introspective tone, drawing fans deeper into his world.
Joony’s ascent in the R&B space has been swift and impactful. With collaborations alongside Brent Faiyaz and Blxst, he’s carried the DMV’s sonic legacy to new heights. He also recently supported Blxst on the I’ll Always Come Find You tour alongside Leon Thomas and Joyce Wrice. Thus, often performing to packed crowds who showed up early to sing along.
With “Dopa(MINE)” now officially out and his COLORS performance gaining steam online, Joony continues carving a path that feels both timeless and undeniably his own.
