The track uses a vocal sample from an older DJ Premier production — Massachusetts MC Ed O.G.'s "Sayin' Somethin," from his 2000 album The Truth Hurts.

One of the Best Yet is available on major streaming platforms.

In a recent interview, Premier revealed J. Colewasn't the first rapper considered to appear on the album's first single, "Family and Loyalty."

“I was like, ‘This needs a guest. Who do I get?’ My manager’s bringing up Drake, because I had just done ‘Sandra’s Rose.’ I reached out to Drake. 40 told me he was getting ready to do the Scorpion tour, so it was going to be really hectic unless I could wait until after the tour was over. I was like, ‘Nah, I don’t want to wait that long,'” Premier said. “So I thought about Kendrick Lamar. I reached out to them, they said the same thing—he’s really starting this new album and in that zone, so doing anything outside that right now might be a little hectic.”

“Then I texted J. Cole and said, ‘Hey man, I want to send you something. It’s a secret Gang Starr album,'” the producer continued. ‘I texted him the song, and he hit me back within five minutes and said, ‘Bro, I got the chills right now.’ He said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to be on this. I just need a little time to have some family stuff. I’m about to have another child.’ He kept his word. After his second son was born, he sent me the vocals over.”
