J. Cole is riding high this week after the release of his debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story. Aside from the inevitable euphoria that comes with dropping one's first album, relative newcomer Cole also got a chance to work with Jay-Z, Missy Elliott and Trey Songz on the project. But fans shouldn't expect the high-profile collaborations to stop there thanks to DJ Drama.
On October 11, the Atlanta DJ will drop his latest album, Third Power, on which he paired Cole with Chris Brown for a track titled "Undercover."
"We were searching for tracks for Chris," Drama explained to MTV News about how he and producer V12 the Hitman came up with the song. "We got something, Chris went in. I thought about it for a minute: Who hasn't he worked with, who hasn't he been on a record with?"
That meant excluding heavy hitters like Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Kanye West and Swizz Beatz, who are among CB's army of previous collaborators. Drama eventually thought to link Brown with Roc Nation's rookie rapper Cole, and although the pair appeared together on little-known British rapper Chipmunk's "Champion (Remix)," Drama's "Undercover" will mark the first time Cole and Breezy co-headline a song.
"J. Cole has definitely been doing his thing," Drama added. "That's another guy that I have a lot of respect for and am excited for what he's been accomplishing, so we made that allegiance right there; plus, you got some bars from Breezy."
Brown already has a dedicated female fanbase and Cole — thanks to songs like his R&B-tinged "Can't Get Enough" and a feature on Miguel's hit "All I Want Is You" — is becoming a heartthrob himself. Whatever the case, Drama is pretty sure the song will win women over. "I think the ladies gonna like this one," he said.
