Wiz Khalifa and J. Cole have collaborated for the first time in fifteen years on a remix of Cole’s most recent track, “cLOUDs.”
Through Cole’s newly opened blog, The Algorithm, the two Blog Era stars unexpectedly released the song on Thursday, March 6. The Dreamville leader praised the Taylor Gang chief’s current “wave.”
“Skating whiz. TGOD. He wrote, “And he been on a wave,” alluding to Wiz’s current run of freestyles and mixtapes.
Additionally, Cole shared a link to Wiz’s duet with Primo Rice, Harry Fraud, and Curren$y, titled “Jill Scott.” He said, “Matter fact, I heard this joint he is on a couple months ago.” I want to thank TJ Warren for putting me on.
“Cole asked me to do a verse on here. I do not know when he is going to drop it, so I figured I would let you all get a sneak peek,” Wiz said on Instagram earlier this month, hinting at a remix of “cLOUDs.”
When the original song was released on February 20, J. Cole was talking about a number of subjects, including the emergence of artificial intelligence and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
In reference to the president’s shooting last summer, he rapped, “I am that bass in your trunk, the bullet that missed Trump / The gun that jammed ’cause it seemed God had other plans.”
“Served on a plate with sirloin steak to billionaires who do not care the world’s gon’ break / Long as they make money off it, pain brings profit,” the North Carolina native added, bemoaning the state of the world and blaming the ultra-rich.
Cole addressed artificial intelligence (AI) and its danger to the creative arts in his second and last verse.

Freddie Gibbs did not respond well to “cLOUDs,” and he seemed to criticize the tough-talking song on social media.
