ASAP Rocky Enlists J Cole for Explosive Collab Amid Drake Feud Drama
ASAP Rocky is pulling out all the stops for his highly-anticipated new album, Don’t Be Dumb. In the works since the last decade, this album promises a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including renowned producers Madlib, Pharrell, and The Alchemist. Speculation is rife that Slick Rick and Rihanna might also make appearances. Adding to the buzz, DJ Kast One recently dropped by Hot 97 on July 26, revealing another major name on the album: J Cole.
DJ Kast One shared that he had the privilege of hearing Don’t Be Dumb and was blown away by a standout verse from Dreamville’s finest. “I heard J Cole,” he confirmed. “I heard songs being played.” This untitled, yet-to-be-released track marks the first collaboration between ASAP Rocky and J Cole in over a decade, following their joint effort on the “TKO” remix in 2013, which also featured Pusha T and Justin Timberlake.
The collaboration is generating significant excitement, not only because Rocky and Cole are generational peers but also due to the ongoing drama in the rap world. ASAP Rocky has been embroiled in a feud with Drake throughout 2024, dissing him on Future’s “Show of Hands” and vowing to continue the beef on Don’t Be Dumb. Meanwhile, J Cole, once an ally of Drake, has seemingly switched sides. The tension between Drake and Cole began with the “7 Minute Drill” controversy and escalated when Cole appeared on the same Future and Metro Boomin album where Rocky took shots at Drake.
DJ Kast One further stoked the flames, confirming that Rocky will be taking aim at Drake again on Don’t Be Dumb. This ongoing saga has fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the drama. With J Cole’s involvement, it’s clear that this album will be a significant moment in the evolving landscape of hip-hop rivalries. We’ve certainly come a long way since the days of “In the Morning.”
