Noname responds to J. Cole in new track ‘Song 33’
The track features production from Madlib.
This week J. Cole released a new track ‘Snow On Tha Bluff‘, that appeared to be aimed at Chicago rapper and poet Noname.
He received widespread criticism, including words from the likes of Chance The Rapper.
He later took to Twitter to defend himself saying:
Right or wrong I can’t say, but I can say it was honest.

Let me use this moment to say this — J. Cole (@JColeNC) June 17, 2020
I haven’t done a lot of reading and I don’t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. But I do a lot of thinking. And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that’s important.

Following the series of tweets Noname responded with screenshots of lyrics to a song which was then shared on Spotify. The song sits at just over a minute long with production from Madlib and directly responds to Cole.
She says: “Wow look at him go/He really ’bout to write about me while the world is in smokes?/When his people in trees, when George was begging for his mother saying he couldn’t breathe/you thought to write about me?”
