J. Cole
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from J. Cole, but he returns today with two new songs ‘The Climb Back’ and ‘Lion King on ICE’. The North Carolina rapper has been relatively quiet over the past year, making only a couple of guest appearances on songs by EarthGang and Dreamville labelmate Bas. He did executive produce Lute’s West 1996 project back in February and also shot a video for Young Thug’s ‘The London’ in May, but otherwise it looks like he was busy in the studio cooking up new music.
In an interview with Billboard last year, Cole revealed that he was working on two albums at the same time and was trying to figure out which one to put out first. “The album I want to put out first is very heartfelt, very introspective… It might not be what people want to hear right now because everybody wants that turn up, but it feels like it might be something people need right now,” he said about one of the projects. Guess we’ll find out soon enough which album he decided to go with. In the meantime, listen to his new songs below.
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar returns with his fourth studio album, DAMN. The Compton MC’s latest record is his first since 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly and was preceded by the singles “Humble” and “DNA.” As with all of Lamar’s albums, DAMN. was produced by in-house Top Dawg Entertainment team member Sounwave, as well as a variety of other collaborators including 9th Wonder, Boi-1da, Mike Will Made It, and DJ Dahi. The album features guest appearances from Rihanna, U2, and Zacari.
