J. Cole Drops Fiery Verse on Cash Cobain’s ‘Grippy’ Amid Kendrick Lamar and Drake Feud Fallout

It’s been almost a decade since J. Cole delivered his memorable line “Dick so big, it’s like a foot is in your mouth” on Jeremih’s “Planez.” Now, the North Carolina rapper returns with another provocative feature, this time on Cash Cobain’s new track “Grippy.” The song marks Cole’s first release since he found himself in the crossfire of the heated rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake earlier this year.

Cole’s verse on “Grippy” showcases his playful side, blending humor and bravado in a way that’s sure to delight his fans and stir up his critics. The release comes after a period of heightened tension in the rap world, where Cole was momentarily drawn into the fray between Lamar and Drake. This playful track signals a return to form for Cole, offering a refreshing break from the drama.

A representative for Cash Cobain confirmed to Rolling Stone that J. Cole recorded his verse towards the end of April. This timing makes “Grippy” his first release featuring new material recorded after his response to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Like That.” In “7 Minute Drill,” a now-deleted track where Cole fired back at Lamar, he initially responded to the shots thrown at him. Despite the track being retracted and apologized for, it left an indelible mark on this year’s rap narrative.

Interestingly, Cole also appears on “Red Leather,” a song by Metro Boomin and Future, part of the sequel album where “Like That” was featured. However, journalist Rob Markman confirmed that Cole recorded his verse for “Red Leather” before Kendrick’s track was released, making “Grippy” his true post-diss comeback.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating how Cole would navigate his musical journey following the publicized feud. On “Grippy,” he manages to sidestep the controversy, focusing instead on delivering a fun, risqué performance that harkens back to his earlier, carefree style.

Cole’s ability to pivot from serious rap battles to light-hearted features illustrates his versatility and resilience as an artist. As the dust settles from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud, J. Cole seems ready to move forward, continuing to engage his audience with his signature blend of introspection, humor, and lyrical prowess.
