J. Cole is keeping the buzz behind his Born Sinner set high by premiering new track "Crooked Smile," which gets a helping hand from the surviving members of R&B troupe TLC.

The song bristles with positive energy, as Cole drops bars about keeping his "twisted grill" instead of getting them fixed up cosmetically, considering how far they've got him in the game. He also shouts out everyone that can see past their own flaws to love themselves and keep it real.

You can hear the rest of the stay-true-to-yourself-themed single, which has Chilli and T-Boz on the hook, down below.

As previously reported, Cole will be hitting Toronto June 26 as part of his "Dollar & A Dream Tour." You can see all the dates here. Born Sinner, meanwhile, finally arrives June 18.
