One of my long time favorite rappers and arguably the best rapper in the game dropped a jewel on us this past week. Untitled track off of the upcoming highly anticipated album “The Fall Off”. J.Cole delivered a masterpiece on this record about his life but rapping about it in reverse. This definitely reminded me of Nas titled track “Rewind” from the album Stillmatic. Cole announced his upcoming album release date which is February 6th. Definitely looking forward to the release! Check out the music video down below!
J.Cole-Untitled Track
Cole flips the typical life story narrative on its head by rapping his life backwards — from death moving toward birth — a creative storytelling device that doubles as a metaphor for reflection and retrospection. This is more than clever wordplay; it’s conceptual artistry.
