Is it true? Is Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole really working on dropping a mix-tape together? Apparently these two are cooking up something. The two released two songs today on black Friday. J.Cole is free styling over Kendrick Lamar's beat "Alright," while Kendrick Lamar is rapping over J.Cole's beat "A Tale of 2 of Citiez." Check out the songs below.
Last Thursday (Oct. 22), Future and Kendrick Lamar played Power 105.1’s annual Powerhouse concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Fetty Wap, Big Sean, Meek Mill and others were also on the bill.
On Sunday, both Future and Lamar both jumped to Chicago for the WGCI Big Jam. Again, K.Dot followed Future. And, again, a good chunk of the crowd went home when Future was finished.
In this case, Future’s set was said to have ended around 10. So it wasn’t as much as a “school night” issue as it was in Brooklyn.
Rumor has it that Kendrick and J.cole are working on a new album together. With both rappers being as conscious as they are, I predict the album to be a banger. These guys will go down in history as one of the best. They are definitely "Tupac" caliber worthy.
Kendrick Lamar/J. Cole (Photo : Chris Weeks/Robin Marchant) Kendrick Lamar sat down with Hot 97 back in April for an in depth interview about his new album To Pimp A Butterfly. During the 40 minute conversation, Lamar revealed that he still plans to record a collaborative album with J. Cole. You know, basically every fans dream. "Yeah, definitely. I still would love to do it," he said about working on a project with the Fayetteville rapper. "I talked to the bro, about a little bit over a month and he's on the tour rocking. So we're gonna try and make something happen. They want that."
He also went on to applaud Cole's promotion for his latest effort 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
"Crazy. How they went about it, popping up at fans' houses? Come on, man," he said. "You don't get the marketing resources from a record label. That's them."
Lamar's compliment comes on the heels of Cole's own praise for Lamar.
"I'm just explaining to him, like yo, I feel like you can do it. You have the respect of that neighborhood and L.A. on another level," Cole told Saint Heron of Lamar's ability to end gang violence in Los Angeles. "If anybody can come through and put an end to this sh*t, it gotta be you," he said. "The thing is, music is powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is. I don't know what it can actually do, but I respect him for speaking on it. That nigga's an amazing artist from top to bottom."
