Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Might Delete Later is the fourth mixtape by American rapper J. Cole. It was surprise released on April 5, 2024, by Dreamville and Interscope Records, marking Cole's first project not to be released with Roc Nation. It features guest appearances from Young Dro, Gucci Mane, Ari Lennox, Cam'ron, Central Cee, Bas, Daylyt, and Ab-Soul. The release had been hinted at in the weeks preceding its release through vlogs released by J. Cole and features a response to the fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Like That" on the album's closing track "7 Minute Drill", which was, however, retired from streaming services on April 12.
Background
While promoting his upcoming studio album, The Fall Off, on February 21, 2024, J. Cole took to social media to share a vlog titled, "Might Delete Later, Vol. 1", previewing "Crocodile Tearz" in the process. Just under a month later, on March 18, J. Cole shared volume 2 of the vlog in which he previewed "3001".
On March 22, 2024, Future and Metro Boomin released their collaborative studio album, We Don't Trust You. The album's sixth cut, "Like That" featured a guest appearance from Kendrick Lamar with whom J. Cole has been in a rivalry for years, and whose verse has been perceived as a diss track towards Cole and Drake.
Controversy
Following the release of the mixtape, Cole faced backlash from fans and reporters after allegedly making what are perceived to be transphobic comments on the project's eighth cut, "Pi"; some fans perceived the comments as a diss towards Kendrick Lamar's "Auntie Diaries", where Lamar addressed transphobia and his relationship with his transgender relatives.
