The song will appear on Jamla Is the Squad II, a compilation album from Jamla Records. The album will drop November 9.

Recently, Cole spoke with Billboard about XXXTentacion, the 2016 presidential election, and Nas' abuse allegations.

"Yeah, that hurt. I ain't going to lie. That hurts. It feels weird because I fuck with Nas, but I just have to be honest," the KOD rapper said. "I came up seeing too much fucked-up shit for that to be acceptable. I don't care who it is. I don't fuck with people abusing women, and I don't fuck with people not taking care of their kids."

As for XXX, he said the following:

“He started off the conversation literally on some, like — he didn’t even say hello. He started off basically saying, ‘I’m not on your level yet.’ He was talking about spiritually and mentally, and that was intense because I was like, ‘Huh? I’m not on no level.’ He was praising me while also saying he was going to achieve whatever it is he felt that I had. I’ve dealt with mentally ill people in my life before, many of them. And right away, I notice that this kid is super passionate and smart, but I could also see that he was so deep in his mind.”

“When I found out [about the abuse allegations against him], my first response was, ‘Man, I hope maybe one day I’ll get a chance to talk to this kid and figure out if there’s any place that I can help.’ Because anybody who would do the shit that he did…Hurt people hurt people. I’ve walked through prisons and talked to these dudes who got life. They took someone’s life at 16 or 17 years old. You haven’t had the chance to process your trauma at that age. I’ma be sympathetic to a kid who has clearly been through so much fucked-up shit that he inflicted this on someone else.”
