Does New J. Cole Track With Metro Boomin and Future End Drake Bromance?

Author Babydoll on Foxy99

J. Cole just dropped some bars on this new banger “Red Leather,” teaming up with the legendary Metro Boomin and Future. This track is sparking all kinds of debate on socials, especially with Cole spitting lines that have everyone whispering about his supposed tension with Drake.

“Red Leather” is where it’s at – we’ve got Metro Boomin killing it with those beats, Future bringing catchy hooks, and Cole getting deep and edgy with his rhymes per usual. Fans and critics are diving deep into every word, hunting for any tea that Cole might be spilling about the rap game’s competitive vibes and even, his thing with Drake.

This whole Drake drama’s been cooking for ages, right? Fans have been playing detectives with their lyrics, trying to piece together if there’s any real beef. In “Red Leather,” it feels like Cole’s kinda opening up, throwing some shade, respectfully, you know? He’s not naming names, but, the hints are there.

I know Metro told us a while back to just enjoy the music and stop reaching, but this is Hip Hop. If we saw anything after J. Cole apologized to Kendrick on that Dreamville stage, we saw that Hip Hop still has millions of fans that live for the Beef. I thought the apology was an example of a rapper stepping boldly into his grown-man era. The timeline across my socials loudly disagreed lol! I was told over and over that Hip Hop is a competitive sport.

This collab is a big deal, my luvs. It shows how these top dogs in hip-hop can get together and drop tracks that aren’t just fire but make you think. It’s all about the vibes, the stories, and yeah, a bit of gossip. “Red Leather” is more than just a song; it’s J. Cole, Metro Boomin, and Future setting up the next chapter in hip-hop’s story, and I’m here for it. Keep scrolling for a listen to Red Leather which is oddly about 7 minutes… just like the diss track Cole removed from “Might Delete Later.” I love it here.

J. Cole Dreamville Festival 2024 - The Complete Setlist

The headlines from J. Cole and his epic Dreamville Festival set will undoubtedly be centered around his Kendrick Lamar comments, but it was an epic performance even before that moment.

With 26 songs, and a host of guests on stage, Cole said he wanted tonight to be a celebration of the music and collaborators he’s had throughout his career. And he did that over and over.

The crowd immediately went wild when the stage lit up and Cole was silhouetted sitting on a car in front of a stage designed to look like elements of his home town of Fayetteville, including the signature Market House towering over him.

“I wanted tonight to be like a celebration.

Jeremih joined Cole on stage as his first special guest, performing “Planez” with him, from their 2015 collaboration. Cole asked him to stay on stage to perform another song, where he let Jeremih perform his hit “Oui.”

For his next guest, Cole said “I’ve never done this on my own stage,” before literally handing over his microphone to 6LACK to do “Pretty Little Fears” together. He then asked 6LACK to stay on stage and he did “Nonchalant” and “PRBLMS” on his own.

The parade of guest stars continued with Benny the Butcher, who came out to do “Johnny P’s Caddy” with Cole, before doing another track of his own.

Next up on the Cole inspiration tour was Lil Yachty, who did “The Secret Recipe” with him, and then did “Strike (Holster)” on his own.

A tribute to artists Cole loves wouldn’t be complete without his Dreamville Label squad. “Under the Sun” saw Cole lead in to Lute. Followed by “Down Bad,” with Bas, EarthGang, but no J.I.D.

Central Cee was the next surprise on stage, joining the Dreamville Label crew, so he could do “H.Y.B.” from Cole’s new project that just dropped Friday. Cole said he didn’t even know he was there, but had to do the song since he was. He then dropped a couple verses off of his own music.

Next up, Cole said he didn’t have the guests there, but since he was on the songs, he needed to do at least his verse from them. He then did part of “The London” from Young Thug, and “a lot” from 21 Savage.

Back to the guest stars, Lil Durk came to the stage to do Grammy-winning “All My Life.”

After Lil Durk left the stage, Cole got serious and talked back the response track he issued to Kendrick Lamar on Friday. Then he closed out with “Love Yourz,” and “No Role Modelz.”
