J Cole has been setting the table for a proper return. He absolutely skated on the guest verses he gave out to ASAP Rocky, Daylyt and Tee Grizzley. Sources close to the rapper hyped up his upcoming album, The Fall Off. And now, we finally have a buzz single. J Cole wiped his Instagram on October 9, before he dropped the surprise release "Port Antonio." Like most fans can guess, "Port Antonio" is a dense, stellar showcase for J Cole and his lyrical abilities. It makes no attempts to appeal to commercial audiences, and instead assures listeners that the "Big Three" member isn't going anywhere.
"Port Antonio" is a buzz single in the vein of "Lion King on Ice" or "The Climb Back." J Cole absolutely rips through each of his verses, delivering dazzling wordplay over an instrumental that is subtly catchy. He also takes haters to task for doubting he had the ability to bounce back from the K. Dot situation. "Jealous n**gas wanna know just how my rhymes blew. Mano y mano, I'm bout, I'm you times two," he spits. "Now I'm bougie, I done out grew the fountain blue. But never forgot the spot where I developed my block." It's unclear whether "Port Antonio" will be on The Fall Off, but it clearly marks the start of a brand new era. An era that will have other rappers scrambling to catch up.

J Cole Showcases All His Lyrical Skill On New Song
Quotable Lyrics:
The Ville, where my skeletons locked
If I could do it all over, then I never would swap
I've seen good, I've seen bad, had my melanin mocked
I've seen lifelong friends turn to devilish opps
