As J. Cole fans gear up for the release of his highly anticipated seventh studio album, The Fall Off, the rapper has exclusively uploaded a brand new record to Instagram titled Port Antonio.

The drop surprised fans with a lengthy five-minute record, fueled by a nostalgic soft hip-hop production credited to DZL and Omen. Notable bars from this record, where J. Cole speaks on his decision to step away from the 2024 rap beef, include lines like:

"But singin' "stop the violence" tunes when dudes in hospitals / I pulled the plug because I've seen where that was 'bout to go / They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow / They see this fire in my pen and think I'm dodgin' smoke / I wouldn't have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro / I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo"
