J. Cole has shown off a surprisingly raunchy side on a new collaboration with Cash Cobain called “Grippy.”
A reworking of Cobain’s track “Dunk Contest,” the song finds the Dreamville boss and rising New York rap star wax poetic about getting between the sheets with a particularly dazzling woman.

Cole kicks off the track by spitting: “She like my kick game/ And when we met, don’t kick game/ I put her front row of the Knick game/ Now she in my phone with a nickname.”
He later raps: “Grippy, I call her that ’cause it’s grippy/ She thinkin’ it hip, she a hippie/ And she thinkin’ of lips, she gon’ lick me/ And she sendin’ a flick when she hit me/ With a kissin’ emoji, she miss me/ When she see me, she say she gon’ strip me.”
Cash’s part on the track is the same as it is on “Dunk Contest.”
J. Cole’s verse received a mixed response from fans, with one taking issue with his sexually explicit lyrics and joking: “What did Kendrick do to Cole.”

Another was more blunt about the song, which is Cole’s second release since he backed out of his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar following his appearance on Future and Metro Boomin‘s We Still Don’t Trust You.
“J Cole’s verse on that Cash Cobain song was fucking atrocious,” they wrote.
For Cash Cobain, “Grippy” continues his hot streak of high-profile collaborations following the “Fisherrr” remix with Ice Spice, “Body” with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and “Attitude” with Don Toliver and Charlie Wilson.
The 26-year-old has also been teasing a collaboration with the elusive Frank Ocean.

When asked about forthcoming music in an interview with Billboard last month, the Bronx-born rapper revealed that he was set to record with the R&B star.
“I should be doing something with Frank Ocean soon, too. He really fucks with my music,” he said.

If Cobain did secure a Frank collaboration, it would be the singer’s first release in over two years, even though he has been teasing fans with new music in recent months.
Cobain is expected to release his new EP Play Cash Cobain soon, with another A-lister, Drake, reportedly handling the art direction.
