AceShowbiz - J. Cole released a brand new track called "Clouds". Produced by DZL and Omen, it touches upon controversial topics including the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
In the second verse, the rapper mentioned the incident at MAGA rally in Philadelphia. "I'm that bass in your trunk, the bullet that missed Trump / The gun that jammed 'cause it seemed God had other plans," he rapped.
Cole also expressed concerns about the rise of AI and its potential impact on creativity. He noted, "Before long, all the songs the whole world sings'll / Be generated by latest of AI regimes / As all of our favorite artists erased by it scream / From the wayside, 'Ayy, whatever happened to human beings?' "
In a blog post, Cole explained his decision to release the track online. He wrote, "Just wanted to share. Made this a few days ago, then i added a second verse and was like 'man I got a blog now, I can put whatever I want up there.' I didn't have a title 20 minutes ago when I decided to really put this up. But now I got one… 'cLOUDs'. "
"Clouds" marks Cole's first release of 2025. Earlier this week, he had announced his intention to be more consistent with sharing new music with fans. So fans can expect more treats from the rapper and other thought-provoking topics he may be discussing next.
