J. Cole is back with new music that he released to his Twitter followers a couple of days ago. New tracks from Cole is always a good thing, but one thing that stands out from this track is that he sounds absolutely ambitious on this one, like he’s finally ready to live up to the hype when he first signed with Jay-Z's RocNation label. Just in time for the machine to churn out hype for his upcoming debut album slated for this summer or fall season. The impending release of this album is all on Jay-Z and record exec's hands. According to Cole's Twitter, he states "All singles done. Album ridiculous. Title Perfect. Music incredible. Thank you for your patience. Let's change the game."

Man, let's hope so.
