For quite some time, the long speculated J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar joint album has been spoken on but it seems like the hope has fizzled out. Maybe some day we'll receive it but at the same time, we haven't heard any collabs between the two artists in a few years. Today, Jeezy reunites Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole for a new record off Pressure titled, "American Dream."
While many have shared their doubts about Jeezy's upcoming album, one thing you can't deny is his A&R skills on it. On "American Dream," he recruits two leaders of the new school together to deliver a fire collaboration. You get one of the founders of trap music alongside two of the most revered rappers in the game over some soulful, Bilal-sampled production courtesy of Toronto's SoundSmith and they definitely don't disappoint.
Check out the track above and get ready for Jeezy's Pressure dropping tonight.
Quotable Lyrics
Four car garage for the Rarri,
that shit came with the estate
The streets get so tricky,
I'm glad I ain't fall for the bait
