J. Cole shows love to BIA over the new collab “London”.
After teasing it throughout this week, BIA finally released her brand new single “London“, which features assistance from none other than J. Cole. The song was released along with a music video, which was shot in London. The Dreamville boss took to his social media to reveal how this track came together and showered some praise for Medford born artist.
” I damn near didn’t even wanna put this clip up cuz I need everybody to hear this shit PURE. How I heard it! I Asked BIA to come through the studio for some whole other sh*t. First time meeting her. We chop it up. She plays me this new song she had just did. Mannnnnnn… in that moment I was blown away,” he wrote.
He continued, “I thought about this song for a month straight, it was my favorite song and I only heard it one time. She hit me recently and sent me the song (she musta knew I wanted to hear it again!!!) and I was just grateful to have it in my possession. When the thought and conversation came up about me adding a verse, I was excited but genuinely nervous cuz I didn’t even see how the song could be better after what she did to it. I didn’t want to f**k nothing up! I’m grateful I Ended up catching the right wave. Thank you @bia for having me on this record with you, love this sh*t and love your energy and spirit.” “COLE THE GREATEST,” responds BIA.
“Bout to go UP,” T-Minus, a regular collaborator of J. Cole, commented in the comments, while Nicki Minaj added, “Ok mama!!!!” THE GREEN LIGHT GANG!!! Let’s fkn go!!!!” Latto, Russ, Kamaiyah, Vinylz, DDG, and Doe Boy were among the other rappers and producers that expressed their delight.
This isn’t the first time Cole has been a part of a song with the word “London” in the title. He previously collaborated with Travis Scott on Young Thug’s “The London” in 2019, however that song was titled after a Beverly Hills hotel rather than the English city.
