Right after hearing that J. Cole was “locked in” and working on new music, we get a new track from him in the form of “cLOUDs,” where the North Carolina rapper reflects on themes of aging, societal change, and his position in the rap game. Cole shared this track via his blog, offering his thoughts to fans:
Just wanted to share. Made this a few days ago, then I added a second verse and was like, ‘Man, I got a blog now—I can put whatever I want up there.’
I didn’t have a title 20 minutes ago when I decided to really put this up. But now I got one…
“cLOUDs.” – Produced by DZL, Omen, and small contributions from me.
Check out the track below.
