#NewMusic: J. Cole Releases “The Climb Back” & “Lion King on Ice”

Shortly after releasing “The Audacity,” an article he penned, he teased fans the release of two new songs. They’re here, “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice.” The first two songs off his upcoming album, The Fall Off.

In the article, Cole talked about retiring, and how he lost the fire to rap like he did previously. Listening to these two songs, it’s clear that desire is back. His wit has increased over the years, but his flow is very reminiscent of his early work.

The Climb Back:

“Everything come back around full circle, Why do lies sound pleasant but the truth hurtful/ Everybody gotta cry once in a while, But how long will it take before you smile/ This is that come back to life shit, My niggas pick me up and we gon light the city up as if the sun had the night shift/ And paint the town red for my nigga found dead to soon, Yea/ To the left of that decimal I need 7 figures to play the joint/ Turn up your decibels peep how I decimate a joint/ Check out my projects like them workers that section 8 appoints, And you’ll see how I flipped, like exclamation points “

There’s no known date for The Fall Off debut, but if these singles are any indication of where Cole is going, it will probably address multiple things throughout his life. Exposing more details, and getting a better understanding of who is. Especially while this is rumored to be his last album.

Lion King on Ice:

“I got Blood on my hands, I ain’t gon lie/ I got mud on my shoes, I got real real big plans, I ain’t gon lie/ Gotta whole to prove, I ain’t gon lie/ Sip from the bottle for shit that we bottling in, Going live but we not on the gram/ This the land of supply and demand, Where my young niggas choppin up grams/ And them choppers won’t pry from they hands, Packing lead like they got a exam”

Download both singles here.
