Rappers Daylyt and J. Cole have teamed up once again to release a new rap track titled A Plate Of Collard Greens. The duo dropped the highly anticipated song on Monday, September 23, 2024. Daylyt kicks off the track with an impressive stream-of-consciousness flow loaded with intricate rhymes.
In the second half of the song, J. Cole takes the reins and matches the rapid tempo established by Daylyt.
“The reign is obsolete / Jermaine is out, the beast celebrated / Paraded out in the streets for days, if not for weeks / For bringing us out the bleakest, burning pit / My words is slick, when it’s my turn to kick / I apply pressure like I’m trained to stop a leak / How vain is my belief?” Cole rapped.
Following the release, J. Cole’s lyrical prowess and delivery received widespread acclaim from fans on X, with many praising his rap skills. Some even claimed that Cole surpasses contemporaries Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
“Cole is a better technical rapper than Kendrick,” noted one user.
Other fans echoed this sentiment, comparing J. Cole’s recent performances to those of Drake.
“Bro having a better run than Drake with features,” stated another user.
“J.Cole’s 2024 run needs to be studied,” added another X user.
“Daylyt and J. Cole have not missed yet… I’m loving what they are doing… I hope Daylyt is part of The Fall Off album,” commented another user.
Other users on X also praised Cole’s writing skills.
“Cole’s penmanship is too golden. This man never backs down; he just keeps going,” wrote another user.
“When Cole raps like this, I get mad when the verse ends… Like keep going; there are so many possible directions his rhymes can take. I need MORE,” praised another netizen.
“This is next-level Cole if you ask me. This is that battle-ready Cole,” expressed another user.
J. Cole and Daylyt Collaborate Once Again
J. Cole and Daylyt’s latest release, A Plate of Collard Greens, marks their second collaboration, following their previous joint effort on the track Pi from J. Cole’s last album.
This latest release showcases the exceptional chemistry and wordplay between Daylyt and Cole. Throughout the song, the two rappers alternately deliver clever double entendres and intricate rhyme schemes over an engaging instrumental loop.
Daylyt’s verse sets the stage as J. Cole seamlessly takes over in the second half, propelling the momentum with his signature blend of reflection and wordplay.
“To say that I could be the greatest y’all done seen / With my cadence proper, from days I laid across the street / From these Caucasian neighbors, new kids I stayed around / I’d green and not as mean as my homies that played on project swings / What fate has not foreseen,” J. Cole rapped in the second verse.
According to Hot New HipHop, there are claims that the song contains multiple references to Drake, leading some fans to suggest that J. Cole may be throwing shade at him. Cole has frequently made comparisons to Michael Jackson in his lyrics, a comparison Drake has also faced over the years.
“Dangerous as the king of pop, how well they spin your block. No moves, minimal, smooth criminals,”Cole rapped, allegedly taking a shot at Drake.
These lines hint that Drake has never explicitly acknowledged Michael Jackson as an influence, despite claiming his position at the top of the rap game.
Additionally, other lyrics from the track seem to allude to Drake.
“The whole gang doin’ insane amount of lean. This ain’t prescribed ’cause there’s no doc’ for pain they harboring.”
This is particularly relevant in light of the upcoming collaboration between Lil Durk and Drake, where Durk discusses overcoming his struggles with lean.
However, it remains unverified whether J. Cole’s verses are indeed a diss towards Drake, as no comment has come from Drake regarding the matter.
