J. Cole has dropped a new surprise single today (June 17), ‘Snow On Tha Bluff’, addressing current issues associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

In the track, Cole addresses a range of topics from capitalism, social media, police to celebrities in a stripped back and thought-provoking track. It’s the rapper’s first new music this year.

Watch the lyric video below:

Since Cole released his fifth studio album ‘KOD’ in 2018, he’s been teasing the release of its follow-up, titled ‘The Fall Off’, expected to be released sometime this year.

It’s currently unknown whether ‘Snow On Tha Bluff’ will feature in his forthcoming sixth studio album.
