    Listened to the one track with Kendrick because Kendrick > anything Dreamville.

    Energy and delivery is slow, lethargic and uninspiring.

    What happened to Cozz I'm The Man days?

    PS f--- J. Cole

    How did you and Kendrick Lamar connect for “Hustla’s Story”?

    So Interscope has a main studio—everyone works out of there. I'm in the studio working and I wanted to buy some food. I’m in my pockets, digging for my wallet and I’m like “Yo, I probably left it in my car.” I go outside to my car and I'm like, “Ah, I’m a f---ing idiot, it was in my pocket the whole time.” While I'm walking back, Kendrick pulls up. It was some god s---, it just happened on some energy s---. Everything’s tinted so I didn’t know who it was. He gets out like, “What’s good, Cozz?” I’d met him before. “I'm like, ‘I'm chillin' bro, working on my album. If you want to hear some s---, come through.” He’s like, “Yeah, for sure” and I’m thinking, “Whatever, he’s not coming.”

    Like an hour later, he pulls up and comes in the room. He wants to hear some s--- and I had one joint in mind. I knew he's would f--- with this s---—it's so him. I'm a Kendrick fan. So I played the joint and he's like, “Yo, lemme get on that.” I played more joints after but he wanted to get on that first one. I'm like, “f--- yeah, n-----, hurry up before you change your mind.” He finishes in like an hour. It was f---ing amazing. Mad genuine and organic. I didn’t ask him; he hopped on it. He's mad cool, super humble. It was dope to witness that and see how he works.

    The music video for “Questions” flips the police brutality narrative. How did that concept come about?

    Somebody else actually had a different concept for that video. Cole called me, like, “You need to be an artist in all aspects and think about what you wanna do as far as videos and everything. Make it your own and you'll feel better about it. [Dreamville Senior Creative Felton Brown] was talking to Cole about the video, too. Cole called me with one idea he had in mind, and we both started brainstorming and came up with the whole s---. Everything besides the first scene was pretty much me—the taser and all that s---. And it turned out amazing.

    Have you had any crazy incidents with the police?

    f--- yeah. Plently. One time I was driving to the studio and I had two of my boys with me. I had this beat-a--- two-door 1993 Ford Explorer. And I made this quick turn into a lane because I was about to miss my turn. If a cop pulled you over, he'd probably ask you some questions, right? The cops pulled me over immediately, came out guns drawn pointed at us, not asking s---. Just because we made a crazy turn. Hands up! So I'm like, Oh my god, what the f---? They opened the door, pulled us out, handcuffed us and put us in the back. No questions, no nothing. They had nothing to say. We was talking s--- the whole time in the backseat, like, “f--- y’all.” Because everything was right—registration, license. It was just a beat car and a black man. They tried to give us some bs ticket after, but literally they could've shot us if we made the wrong move. All for a f---ing turn. And there's so many more than that, I could go on forever. But that's one that really f---s with me to this day.

    Dont want to jump on conclusion but...
    Effected is MEH. The beginning is aight and then it's boring. The end give me little light.
    S/O to freaky 45 the only inspired song (ELITE ! ELITE ! ELITE ! I'm booored) I can quote Effected, Demons and distraction and Zendaya but it sounds like a copy from the last YG and a lost song of J.Cole.
    Interpretation is the main problem of this album. Thanks to Dreamville to push creativity.

    Cole, Bas & JID are the only dreamville artists I like. I give all other artists a listen when they drop their projects but I RARELY revisit the project.

    Remember Dreamville is building artist for the long run. I hear growth from Cozz so to me as a fan that’s all you can ask for.

    Hope y’all Americans on here are voting straight Democratic in 2018 and 2020. If you’re not registered then go do it now. Primaries are this Spring. As s-----y as the Democrats can be at times they are still better than the off the spectrum Republicans. The Dems aren’t bought off by the NRA. Let’s get the GOP out of power and get some sensible gun laws in place that will cut down on gun violence.
