Drake wants to be on J. Cole's upcoming album.
The Canadian native made the pitch while they were on stage together in Montreal for the "It's All A Blur Tour" on Saturday night. Drake brought out the Dreamville founder once again to replace 21 Savage, who couldn't make it to the show this past weekend. After Cole performed songs like "No Role Modelz" and his verse from 21 Savage's "a lot," Drake asked the North Carolina rapper straight up if he could be on his next album.
“Can I get on the album? I’ma ask in front of Montreal. ‘J. Cole, can we get on your album?'” Drake shouted.
“Say less, goddammit!” J. Cole replied.
“Montreal, I want you to understand something,” Drake continued. “It takes somebody that really not only loves the art of this s**t, but really loves all of you to get on a plane, come here for two nights and represent for Montreal."
It's not the first time Drake and J. Cole have rocked a stage together. Drizzy previously brought out The Off-Season rapper during his "Assassination Vacation Tour" in 2019 and his "Summer Sixteen Tour" in 2016. Their surprise collaborative set also gave some fans flashbacks to Dreamville Fest when Drake co-headlined this year's event with Cole.
Let's hope Cole is serious about getting Drake on his upcoming LP. The last time they officially collaborated on wax was 10 years ago for Drake's "Jodeci Freestyle." Prior to that, they connected on Cole's "In The Morning" in 2010. Since then, the only thing fans have received that was even close to a musical collaboration was when Cole dropped his 2021 track "Heaven's EP", in which he rapped over Drake's "Pipe Down" off Certified Lover Boy.
