J. Cole and Major Lazer teamed up for a remix to “Get Free”, which is titled “Get Free Cole World”. I LOVE the original and Cole definitely spits on this song. He attacks some very relevant issues today in this song, but there’s the question of rather or not Young Simba’s addition was necessary. The original was already so perfect! Check it out below and you be the judge.

This is a very chill track from The Fresh Prince II, Jaden Smith. Is that what he’d be called? Anyway, the visuals are nice! I just kept thinking, “That’s a cool 14 year old”. The tape titled Cooltape Vol. 1: The Cool Cafe drops on October 1st. To download or not to download…that’ll be my dilemma in a couple of days.
