J. Cole recently dropped a new track, called "Procrastination (Broke)," along with a text message about its origin.
"It's a million artists out there right now just like me, hungry and searching every day for something to spark a word, a melody, a hook, a verse, a punchline, a way to vent, or a way to cut through," the text to producer Bvtman reads. "On a day when I couldn't find much motivation, I was looking for anything to inspire me. Out of curiosity, I typed in 'J. Cole type beat' into YouTube. Yours was the first I saw. I pressed play, focused, and wrote this."
Cole concluded by writing, "This is some s*** that would normally stay in the vault, but I don't want to hold onto the music like that no more. This is for you and whoever else need to hear it. God bless bro and keep doing what you do!"
Cole's last major project was the Gangsta Grillz mixtape, which dropped in April 2022.
