J. Cole Reflects on Kendrick Lamar and Drake Feud on New Song “Port Antonio”: Listen

J. Cole has shared a new song, “Port Antonio,” addressing the dormant feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Check it out below.

The song is Cole’s first major contribution to the crowded field of diss tracks and spin-offs since his verse on Drake’s “First Person Shooter” declared Cole, Drake, and Lamar “the big three” of mainstream rap, and his “7 Minute Drill” tentatively upped the stakes with quibbles about Lamar’s recent music. Lamar, of course, responded on “Like That”—“Motherfuck the big three.… it’s just big me”—prompting Drake to reply with “Push Ups,” Cole to apologize for “7 Minute Drill,” and… well, you know the rest.

Now, Cole appears to be mediating between the two rappers. “They say I’m pickin’ sides, don’t you lie on me,” he raps on “Port Antonio.” “Drake, you’ll always be my n***a/I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n***a/Fuck all the narratives, tappin’ back into your magic pen is what’s imperative.”
