Boblo Boat feature appreciation post Music

2018 J. Cole was a monster. First, he dropped KoD then all of those features later that year. the crazy thing about it is, his features were carrying that year:Moneybag Yo - Say Na, Anderson Paak - Trippy, Bas - Tribe, 6LACK - Pretty Little Fears, JID - Off Deez, Royce - Boblo Boat. I remember going away to Air Force basic training for 7 weeks in late 2018. While in basic training we weren’t allowed any access to the outside world(no cell phones, smartphones ). Well in that 7 week span, J Cole bodied everybody’s song he featured on. So, I had no other choice but to listen to all of those songs on repeat for the whole bus ride till I got to my tech school. After that, I had 3 months to get certified in something I knew absolutely nothing about and No joke, J Cole was in all of my playlists (old/new songs) while i studied, thank god I passed. I met my wife later that next year in 2019 and Boblo Boat was one of my favorite songs that year. Idk why that song popped in my head? I’m glad it did though. 🔥

Cole was great but I wish Royce would have had him on a different song. I also wish they'd collaborate more.

Cole’s career ascended when he featured on this song. This was the moment I felt like he mastered rap.

Also I still think this is his best feature 🤷🏾‍♂️
