On J. Cole’s first single of 2019, “MIDDLE CHILD,” the North Carolina rapper contemplates his place between the old and new generations of hip-hop. Despite Cole’s respect for both groups of rappers, the Dreamville boss ultimately concludes on the T-Minus-produced track that he’s the “greatest right now.” To discuss Cole’s claim, Genius' Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman sat down with Clubhouse podcast host Mouse Jones, cohost of Black Girl Podcast Gia Peppers, and media personality Jameer Pond on the latest episode of For The Record.
