J. Cole was in the studio cooking up a group effort, but he already has a new solo single on deck. The North Carolina rapper announced he’s dropping a new track called “Middle Child.”
At least that’s the intel he shared with his latest Instagram post. The new single, which is produced by T-Minus (Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott) is set to drop this Wednesday (Jan. 23) at 9 pm.
