Wowgr8 Confirms That He Was Not Dissing J. Cole

Wowgr8 of EarthGang fame has been having a solid year, contributing some standout verses to the recent Spilligion project. Aside from that, the Atlanta lyricist has been steadily delivering a few key freestyles on his SoundCloud page, including the recent “Bang Freestyle,” which featured a few controversial bars fueling speculation at some problems with J. Cole. “Cole tried to do me like Hov did to Ye,” he rapped, a line that ultimately served to draw some unwanted attention and unfavorable theory-crafting.

A few weeks after uploading the “Bang Freestyle,” Wowgr8 had the track removed entirely, citing the problems it caused as the primary catalyst. And while he did delete his initial explanation, a recent video from his Instagram Live sheds a bit of light on the situation. After a viewer directly inquires as to whether he “dissed Cole,” Wowgr8 pauses the music and clears the air.

“Everybody keeps asking if I dissed Cole,” he begins. “No. For one thing, that song ‘Bang’ is a John Witherspoon tribute. Cole heard it at least eighteen months ago, number one. Number two, I didn’t know the Jay-Z Kanye West relationship would turn to what it turned to. I was just saying Cole discovered me and my n***as. I don’t know nothing bout what those n***as turned to, that’s an old-ass song. Cole tried to put us up like Hov put Ye up. There is no beef between me and Cole, that is my-n**a-my-n***a. But I do love the song, I love the song so much I had to put it up.”

So there you have it — no conflict is secretly brewing within the Dreamville camp. Check out Dot’s own words below, a statement he doubled-down on last night, prior to deleting the post altogether. In the meantime, be sure to support Wowgr8 by checking out Spilligion, a project made with several Dreamville alumni.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
