J. Cole has returned to make a statement. The Dreamville leader has released his new single “Middle Child” on Wednesday night (January 23) as promised.
Cole’s latest track reflects on his status within Hip Hop’s current landscape. He confidently declares himself “the greatest right now” while also noting his role as the connective tissue between two eras.
“I’m dead in the middle of two generations/I’m little bro and big bro all at once/Just left the lab with young 21 Savage/I’m ’bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch,” he raps.
Listen to Cole’s “Middle Child” below.
