Reek Da Villain released “Strong Island King,” a J. Cole diss, Thursday (August 20). In an interview with ForbezDVD, the Long Island, New York rapper says that he made the song after a friend showed him J. Cole dissing Long Island at a recent stop at Madison Square Garden on the “Forest Hills Drive Tour.”
“A lot of people telling me, ‘Oh, he do that at every show,'” Reek says, “Well, nigga, this right here ain’t, whatever other towns you naming, that ain’t this, nigga. Niggas ain’t joking with this. What the fuck you mean?
“”Niggas go up top, nigga up North and bang with niggas,” he continues, referencing people defending Long Island in New York, “and really go hard to make sure this shit is respected, nigga. I ain’t never let no nerd nigga play this shit.”
J. Cole was telling the crowd how he moved from North Carolina to New York to pursue his music career. He then told a story of how a Long Island rapper was begging him on Twitter to listen to his music.

“He like, ‘Yo, J. Cole, please, click my shit,'” he says. “‘I’m the hottest nigga in Long Island, bro. I promise you, click my shit. It’s my soundcloud link. I promise you, my nigga, I’m not gonna let you down. I got what Dreamville needs. Click the shit, please.’ Then I finally click the shit and it’s the worst shit I’ve ever heard in my fucking life. It’s fucking terrible. I’m offended at how bad this nigga’s shit is. I want my 27 seconds back that I just gave him to play this fucking song.”
Reek’s diss track starts with a recording of Cole’s remarks. The song then calls the Dreamville founder a “studio thug,” references Cole’s fight with Puff Daddy, and disses Cole’s “Wet Dreamz” track where he discusses losing his virginity. Another jab addresses J. Cole as a lightskin rapper.
“I try to brush it off, but I can’t take it / See, this what happens when you let a house nigga off the plantation / Fuck you talking ’bout little bitch boy? You bitch man / Typa bitch I’ll stab with a six-blade, my six spray,” he raps.
Reek says in the interview that he likes Cole’s music and that he would come after any rapper who disses his hometown. He says that a lot of people in Long Island weren’t happy with the North Carolina rapper’s remarks, but Reek says he is the man to be the spokesperson.

“There’s so many diss records towards that nigga right now,” he says. “I can’t even count ’em. I ain’t even gonna front, though. A lot of the shit’s wack as hell. I’m glad they can’t hear ’em because niggas will embarrass us. Just fall back y’all. Let me do this shit. Like, chill. You niggas aren’t even on that nigga level, but I am. Do your research. I’m from that cloth.”
He says that he is ready for J. Cole to make a comeback to the diss track.
“I hope he respond,” Reek says. “I want him to respond because it’s Hip Hop, nigga. I’m ready for it. I’m not one of these new niggas.”
