J. Cole comes off of hiatus with a loose single, “Procrastination (Broke).” The story behind it is… rather interesting: Cole went to Youtube, typed “J. Cole type beat” in the search engine, and the Bvtman-produced track was the end result.
“This song should live on your channel and serve as a thank you to you and every producer out there cooking up and sharing their work with the world,” Cole said in a text message to the producer. “It’s a million artists out there right now just like me, hungry and searching every day for something to spark a word, a melody, a hook, a verse, a punchline, a way to vent, or a way to cut through.
“This is some sh*t that would normally stay in the vault, but I don’t want to hold onto the music like that no more,” he continued. “This is for you and whoever else need to hear it. God bless bro and keep doing what you do!”
