Drake Gives J. Cole His Flowers On Stage

Drake Reveals He and J.Cole Are Working on Music Together

J. Cole surprised his Miami crowd with Rap’s biggest superstar. On Friday night, the Dreamville CEO kicked off his first tour since 2018. The Off-Season tour features opening acts such as Morray, 21 Savage and comedian Druski. Each have enjoyed tremendous success over the past few years. Cole, Savage and Morray’s “My Life” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 charts upon its release.

What’s a show without surprises right? During his set, J. Cole brought out his rap classmate and close friend Drake. The Boy performed “Laugh Now Cry Later,” as well as Knife Talk with 21 Savage. At the end of the set, Drake shared his reaction to Cole’s lyrics on his “Pipe Down” Freestyle, entitled “Heaven Sent.”

“You was sayin’ in the freestyle that they gave you the bronze or whatever, me and Kendrick,” started Drake. “I just want you to understand something. You are genuinely, without a doubt, one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a mic. I love you with all my heart, you’re my brother, one of my favorite artists. Always appreciate you having me out here.”

The two rap legends entered the rap game in the late 2000s/early 2010s and have enjoyed success ever since.

J. Cole Says Career Reflection Led to His Decision to Do Features

Former NBA Player Larry Sanders Says J. Cole Has "A Real Shot" At Making It In The NBA

J. Cole has come to grips with Hip-Hop retirement and as he heads out the door, the Fayetteville star is giving insight into his most recent moves.

In the Applying Pressure: The Off-Season Documentary, Cole revealed the thought process before his run of impressive features, which he considers an album on their own.

“When you put yourself in uncomfortable moments, you find out a lot about yourself. And usually you find out that you’re capable of rising to that bar that’s set by the uncomfortable situation. So what’s something I could do? When somebody brings you a feature, say yes. I was looking at it as an opportunity for growth,” Cole said.

“Do you really want to look back and be like, ‘You didn’t work with nobody?” Cole posed. “You didn’t have no songs with nobody?’ You just cool with that?’ No, OK! So start saying yes to some features.”
