After much anticipation, American rapper and singer J. Cole returns with “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice,” the first two songs off his upcoming album The Fall Off.
“This is that come back to life shit,” raps Cole on the self-produced “The Climb Back.”
Over the soulful beat, Cole issues a warning (“A problem with me is like the BET Hip-Hop Awards / I’m starting to see you ni**as don’t want it”) and addresses the competition (“I’m sick of this flauntin’ from ni**as I know fo sho ain’t got more dough than Cole / Trash rappers, ass backwards, tryna go toe-to-toe / We laugh at ya”).
