J. Cole Praises Burna Boy as the ‘2Pac Reincarnated’
J. Cole recently placed Burna Boy in the same league as the legendary 2Pac. Burna Boy, who dropped his latest album, “I Told Them…” just last month, joined forces with Cole on the track “Thanks.”
In an enlightening chat on the Rap Radar Podcast, the Nigerian sensation shed light on his studio session with J. Cole, where the Dreamville maestro bestowed upon him the title of “2Pac reincarnated.”
“I’m not entirely sure how the stars aligned, but somehow, I found myself in the studio with J. Cole and a crew of towering basketball players,” he revealed with a grin. “Before diving into the music, we engaged in deep conversations, talking about life and the real stuff.
“For someone like me, I’m not accustomed to extensive dialogues with people outside my inner circle. I tend to keep it short. But that day was different.
“As we were about to commence, he casually remarked, ‘Bruh, this guy’s like 2Pac reincarnated from Africa.’ I glanced around, wondering who he was referring to, only to realize he was talking about me. He said, ‘Yeah, this guy is like Tupac reincarnated in Africa.’ I thought, ‘Wow, that’s profound.’ Alright, let’s create some music.”
The track “Thanks” marks the debut collaboration between Burna Boy and J. Cole. During a recent interview with Apple Music, Burna Boy didn’t hold back his admiration for J. Cole, referring to him as a “legend.”
Fans of the dynamic duo will be thrilled to know that J. Cole and Burna Boy have yet another collaboration in the works. During a chat on Complex’s 360 with Speedy, Burna revealed that they created something entirely distinct from “Thanks” during their studio session.
