DJ Premier caused an uproar earlier this week when he alluded to having new Gang Starr material on the horizon.
Sure enough, the tenured producer followed up with a new Gang Starr track on Friday (September 20) called “Family & Loyalty” featuring unreleased Guru vocals and new lyrics from J. Cole.
Despite the track’s positive reception, Cole says it will be the last time he hops on anybody else’s tracks.
“This is a honor to be on this song,” he wrote on Twitter. “NEW Gang Starr. This is the last feature you’ll hear from me. Thank you to everybody I got to work with during this run. @REALDJPREMIER This song a classic, thank you. RIP GURU.”
Cole’s latest solo project, KOD, was released in April 2018. The only feature is credited to Kill Edward, which is Cole’s alter ego.
On the flip side, Preemo has had his hands in several endeavors, including an executive producer role for MC Eiht’s 2017 Which Way Iz West album and last year’s PRhyme 2 with Royce Da 5’9.
The Off Season on the way?
That’s cool after I get my k.dot collab, then you can, until then hell nah
Maybe that would have been dope 5 years ago… But Kendrick, and Cole both sucks compared to what they used to be.
Funny thing is J Cole fit that ” wack, overhyped, and overrated, only-famous-because-of-payola artists “
You can’t just do a song with legends then say its your last feature lol. I hope he stops doing features with these wack funny styled hair mfs and start doing songs w/ actual lyrics please.
So what? Never checked for his feature ever. He prolly not writing his own material.
No one wants a feature from this guy anyway. He invited HIMSELF on most of the collabs he’s done. Corny dude is always trying to be low key and mysterious like an Andre 3000 or Lauryn Hill, but he doesn’t have half the talent. lmao
Lmao Cole obviously stole your bitch lmaooo bitter as hell
What? Cole is low key gay bro. Look how emotional his tracks are! He ain’t stealing nobodies bitch.
Can’t wait to hear your feature , oh wait…
Why does he need a feature, oh yea your emotional
So, by your logic, if one person isn’t a professional artist they cannot call our anyone else? I guess that means nobody can criticize Trump except for powerful politicans? Your a emotional pus lol
Real comment!!!!! Why isn’t the Will Smith song from the Aladdin soundtrack on DJ Khaleds album?
Cole’s too dope to be retiring from features like that. Look at the amount of hate he gets, must be doing something right.
#NoHatersNoGreatness
He had a good run…helped a lot of ni99as out on songs he deserves a break
Thank you. Retire all together. Take time to sort out your mind. Bars are average… but Preemo please remix the song and add Rakim, Kane, nas , group home, or someone guru did business with. Stop chasing likes and chase rights… right!!
Good cause he’s trash anyway
Cole should to a collab with other real lyricists like Black Thought, Jay Electronica & Kendrick. Or all 4 on one track. Then he can stop. Not before.
Kendrick sucks in 2019 lol. Kendrick sounds like some young money crap. He was dope before 2015, after that, he went straight up pop BS.
Bitter guys behind computers with no talent talking how Cole and Kendrick have “fallen off” because they don’t make that shit these backpack virgins want lol
