More Music: DJ Khaled’s ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ Featuring J. Cole

dj-khaked-suffering-from-successDJ Khaled has been on a rampage releasing song after song in preparation for his new album “Suffering From Success.” Khaled, of course, is not a rapper so the benefit of his album is that he will feature a myriad of diverse artists. The latest song from Khaled is “Hell’s Kitchen” featuring J. Cole, and it’s a nice, thoughtful solo performance.

According to rap-up.com:

“J. Cole digs deep in his thoughts on the introspective “Hell’s Kitchen.” The dark track, which features his Dreamville artist Bas, appears on DJ Khaled’s upcoming album Suffering From Success (Oct. 22).

“The Roc Nation rapper contemplates fake friends, failure (“My next album flop then I’m going pop like Nelly”), and the price of fame over the ominous beat. “N** f** you and your fake well wishin’/ Now get out of Hell’s Kitchen,” raps Cole.”

“Hell’s Kitchen” also features New York rapper Bas, which helps Khaled show off a range of artists. Most of the songs on the album feature multiple artists from a range of different backgrounds.

Suffering From Success is set to drop next Tuesday.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
