Rappers Daylyt and J Cole have once again collaborated on a new rap song, A Plate Of Collard Greens. The pair released the new song on Monday, September 23, 2024. Daylyt opens the song with a stream-of-consciousness flow that is jam-packed with rhymes.

In the second part of the song, J Cole takes over and maintains the fast tempo.

“The reign is obsolete / Jermaine is out, the beast celebrated / Paraded out in the streets for days, if not for weeks / For bringing us out the bleakest, burning pit / My words is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.

Once the song was released, J Cole’s lines and rap skills garnered praise from netizens, who took to X to express the same. Addressing his contemporaries, some even said that he is better than Kendrick and Drake.

“Cole is a better technical rapper then Kendrick,” said one user.

J Cole and Daylyt recently launched their song A Plate of Collard Greens, following their joint effort on the song Pi from J Cole's previous album.

The recent release highlights Daylyt and Cole's unparalleled chemistry and wordplay. The two rappers alternately provide double entendres and rhyme schemes over an instrumental loop throughout the song.

Daylyt begins the song as J Cole takes over in the second half, carrying the momentum with his combination of wordplay and reflection.

“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.

Meanwhile, as per Hot New HipHop, given that the song allegedly contains repeated references to Drake, some believe that Cole is mocking him. Cole has made numerous references to Michael Jackson, with whom Drake has frequently drawn comparisons throughout the years.

"Dangerous as the king of pop, how well they spin your block. No moves, minimal, smooth criminals," Cole rapped, allegedly mocking Drake.

This reportedly hints that Drake has never specifically raised his cap to Michael Jackson, despite previously claiming to be the best.

The following lines from the recent song seem to also apply to Drake.

"The whole gang doin' insane amount of lean. This ain't prescribed 'cause there's no doc' for pain they harboring."

This refers to the fact that Lil Durk and Drake are working on a new song, in which the former discusses giving up on the lean.

However, it hasn’t been proven whether or not Cole dissed Drake, and Drake hasn’t commented on it as of yet.
