Months after bowing out of the heated beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole shared a new track titled “Port Antonio” to finally tell his side of the story. On the track produced by Omen, DZL, and Cole himself, he stands firms saying he didn’t back down because he didn’t feel like he couldn’t compete. Stating that he “wouldn’t have lost a battle” but instead that he would’ve “lost a bro” and “gained a foe, and all for what?” Cole raps over a vocal sample of Cleo Sol’s 2021 track “Know That You Are Loved” as well as a piano sample of Lonnie Liston Smith’s 1983 track “A Garden of Peace”—best recognized on Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents” or Mary J. Blige’s “Take Me As I Am.” #JCole #PortAntonio #newmusic #KendrickLamar #Drake
