It might be the middle of August, but it’s a Cole World out here! North Carolina lyricist and producer J. Cole has returned after a hiatus with a new single simply titled “The Cure.”

As a protégée of one of the greatest rappers/businessmen alive, Jay-Z, it’s not surprising to hear a sample from a Jay-Z/Beyonce/Kanye West super collaboration (“Lift Off”). It’s also not surprising for J. Cole to effortlessly deliver clever and intelligent wordplay over excellent production.

Is J. Cole possibly dropping a mixtape soon? Are you ready? Yeah, we are too.

What do you think? Does J. Cole still bring the heat?
