J. Cole Responds to Kendrick Lamar on Surprise New Album, Might Delete Later

The post J. Cole Responds to Kendrick Lamar on Surprise New Album, Might Delete Later appeared first on Consequence.

J. Cole is back with a “surprise” new album, Might Delete Later, arriving via Dreamville and Interscope Records.

Spanning 12 tracks, Might Delete Later’s release comes after a few weeks of Cole teasing the project via vlogs online. Alongside Cole, a number of artists appear on the album, including Ari Lennox, Gucci Mane, Daylyt, Cam’ron, Young Dro, and more. Check out the full tracklist below.

Of note is the closing track, “7 Minute Drill,” which includes Cole’s response to Kendrick Lamar’s diss on Future and Metro Boomin’s March 2024 song “Like That.” On the track, Cole raps, “I got a phone call that said somebody was dissing… He fell off like The Simpsons.”

Cole then alludes to Lamar’s discography, rapping, “Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic/ Your second shit put n***as to sleep but they gassed it/ Your third shit was a massive hit, that was your prime/ I was trailing right behind but I just now hit mine/ Now I’m front of the line with a comfortable lead/ How ironic, soon as I got it now he want something with me.”

The lines are believed to be a response to Lamar’s “Like That” verse name dropping Drake and J. Cole’s song “First Person Shooter.” On “Like That,” Lamar raps, “Fuck sneak dissin’, ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches… Motherfuck the Big Three, n****a, it’s just big me.”

Stream “7 Minute Drill” and the rest of the songs from Might Delete Later in full on Apple Music or Spotify below.

Meanwhile, Cole will host his Dreamville Festival this weekend, featuring performances from Nicki Minaj, SZA, Chris Brown, and more. Grab tickets here.
