North Carolina’s J. Cole channels the cover art and name of Nas’ classic Illmatic with his new freestyle “Villematic,” backing up comparisons to Escobar. The track, which sees the Roc Nation signee going in over Kanye West’s “Devil in a New Dress,” comes only a few days after ‘Ye released the freebie.

“That beat is incredible, shout to Yeezy. Much Love,” tweeted Cole.

“Villematic” could be the first from a mixtape that Cole plans to release. “I’m in a zone. Fuck it. I’ma do a mixtape,” he wrote. No complaints here.
