J. Cole's next album Born Sinner is due June 25, just after the solstice, but he's celebrating the sunny season ahead of schedule by dropping new tune "Cole Summer."
The sped-up Lauryn Hill sample on the track is plenty playful, and leads Cole to crack wise about how, comparitively, he has a tighter grip on his billfold than Drake ("Throwin' thousands in the strip club with Drizzy/Difference is I'm throwing four, he throwin' fifty"). Another punchline has him bracing for a return to the 9-to-5 if Born Sinner tanks.
Cole also weighs in on the influence of '90s rap game predecessors, talks his own accomplishments, and even notes how Born Sinner has faced a few setbacks. You can stream or download "Cole Summer" down below.
