J. Cole Goes to the Vault for ‘Trae the Truth in Ibiza’ Video: Watch
J. Cole’s Might Delete Later mixtape has flown under the radar since he side-stepped the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud and scrubbed “7 Minute Drill” from streaming services.
The Dreamville boss revived his Might Delete Later‘s YouTube channel with the release of the grainy “Trae the Truth in Ibiza” visual on Wednesday (June 12).
Packed with nostalgia, the clip kicks off with Cole linking up with Trae the Truth as he recalls getting ahold of the thought-to-be-lost footage from their 2012 overseas trip while touring in Ibiza. The scene immediately shifts to the plane landing, which Cole described as being the first he saw from the vault.
A neophyte J. Cole is nearly unrecognizable, going back to the days when he kept a short-cut fade. He, Trae and his manager IB take in all that the Spanish island has to offer throughout their trek, including the famed partying as Cole sips on a bottle of Hennessy.
Twelve years later, even Cole’s wildest dreams probably couldn’t have predicted how his Hall of Fame rap career would’ve played out.
The “No Role Modelz” rhymer surprise dropped his Might Delete Later mixtape in April. The project went on to debut atop the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The set launched with 115,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week of April 5-11, according to Luminate.
These days, J. Cole has been sticking to the features and most recently hopped on scorching NYC rapper Cash Cobain’s “Grippy.”
