J. Cole has surprised fans by releasing a new album called ‘Might Delete Later,’ which has sparked conversations around a track that appears to be aimed at Kendrick Lamar. 

The song, “7 Minute Drill,” was released following a recent collaboration between Lamar, Future, and Metro Boomin. Which included verses thought to be directed at Cole and Drake. In “Like That,” Lamar challenges the notion of a “big three” in the rap industry, referring to himself, Drake, and J. Cole, and suggesting that he is the dominant force in the industry. 

In response, Cole’s “7 Minute Drill” features sharp verses that directly address the tension between the two artists, critiquing Lamar’s discography and hinting at their personal and professional rivalry. Cole’s lyrics suggest that he is ready to confront Lamar, despite their history of mutual respect, emphasizing the competitive nature of rap.
