Justin Timberlake has had two of the biggest pop albums of the year with his 20/20 Experience series. Now Timberlake is giving “T.K.O.” –one of the hottest singles–a hip hop angle for the remix that features A$AP Rocky, Pusha T and J. Cole. According to consequenceofsound.net:

“In one of the more random remixes of the year, Justin Timberlake’s “TKO” has been turned into a hip-hop posse track featuring ASAP Rocky, Pusha T, and J Cole. It’s almost indistinguishable from the original, with Timberlake’s presence limited to the hook. ASAP drops an X-rated verse that features more curse words than non-curse words, Pusha makes his case for Album of the Year, but it’s J. Cole’s contribution that’ll make the biggest waves. Nearly four months after its release, Cole finally responds to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Control”

“It’s worth noting that Kendrick guested on Cole’s latest album, Born Sinner, and Cole reportedly came to Kendrick’s defense during a recent skirmish between he and Diddy. So more likely than not, this is a lighthearted jab among friends, but still +1 for the “ringtone” line.

Check out the Justin Timberlaks “T.K.O.” remix featuring Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, and J. Cole below.

 

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.
