J. Cole’s Production Brings Out The Best In Anderson .Paak’s Rap Flow (Audio)
BY BANDINI • JULY 24, 2019
Late last year J. Cole and Anderson .Paak collaborated on Oxnard, care of the song “Trippy.” That chemistry builds in a significant way thanks to a song Cole produced for YBN Cordae’s upcoming The Lost Boy album (July 26).
“RNP (Rich Ni**a Problems)” features an especially bouncy beat, with the kind of filtered drums that J Dilla favored. Meanwhile, Cole involves an assortment of background noises to create a dynamic canvas for the versatile vocalists. Andy kicks his slick soul, letting everybody know that he is feeling untouchable. Suitland, Maryland’s Cordae raps about just that, having money, profile, and his youth all at once.
