J. Cole ft. Drake - In the Morning

If you climbed into bed last night giddy with the expectation of unwrapping a shiny new J. Cole mixtape In the Morning, you likely started the day on a disappointing note. And if you were one of the hardcore devotees who stayed up all night, staring at your monitor in rapt anticipation of Friday Night Lights’ arrival… well, I feel for you. While previous features Before I’m Gone and Purple Rain were, to be sure, dope as hell, neither left the female half of the hip-hop nation quite as tantalized as this final leak, a collaboration between the game’s two most eligible young bachelors. Released yesterday evening, Morning finds L&X Productions serving up a delicate, piano-led beat as Cole lyrically romances one lucky chick. On the middle, T-dot ladykiller Drake grabs the mic for a guest 16 as witty as it is sensual: “Drink that dinner wine slow, I’m tryin’ to make the goosebumps on your inner thigh show, I’ll let you beat me there as far as finish lines go.” Damn!

Update: FNL is out now, download here! (SendSpace)

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Def one of the best songs on this mixtape. Cole gets an A for the tape, but an F for the release via a file-sharing site (cough, cough). 2011 it will be a Cole World. Follow @DJBooth

Mbaldwin0293 DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 5	Rating: Mbaldwin0293's Top Rated Songs I've been a booth follower and amateur rapper for over a year now, and I feel that its time to start sharing my viewpoint. With that said, I love this track, J. Cole's flow and control of the beat is great. Drizzy's input is short but not unheard. 4/5.

mmoore1127 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 725	Rating: mmoore1127's Top Rated Songs mmoore1127 back from the dead checkin' in from Naptown! J. Cole has been on my radar for a little while now, a talented new artist on the come up. Nice contribution from Drake to give this song the extra little umpf it needed to make it a banger. Shout out to Roc Nation!

reglagyrl05 DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 109	Rating: reglagyrl05's Top Rated Songs I dont know what it is about J.Cole that everything sounds hitting. Maybe its that hypnitizing voice that has sharp lyrics that neva miss. Yea he baby daddy status right.... Not a huge Drake fan but its always nice to hear what he has to say
