The anticipation surrounding J. Cole’s collaboration with Tems reaches a fever pitch as fans eagerly await the release of “Free Fall” on Tems’ upcoming album, Born in the Wild. However, amidst the excitement, concerns linger following Cole’s controversial verse on Cash Cobain’s “Grippy.”
Since the announcement of the collaboration on May 30, fans have been divided, with some expressing confidence in Cole’s ability to deliver while others remain skeptical. Cole’s departure from his usual lyrical style on “Grippy” raised eyebrows among listeners, prompting debates on social media about his versatility as an artist.
Despite the criticism, many fans remain hopeful, drawing parallels between Cole’s upcoming collaboration and his past successes. They anticipate a return to form reminiscent of his acclaimed features on tracks like “Pretty Little Fears” and “Sacrifices.”
However, recent controversies surrounding Cole, such as his public spat with Kendrick Lamar on “7 Minute Drill,” have left some fans wary. As the release of “Free Fall” draws near, all eyes are on Cole, with fans eagerly awaiting his next move and hoping for a verse that lives up to the hype.
