According to Summer Walker in a recent interview, J. Cole recently released a song that brought her to tears.
On Thursday (May 25), Walker shared some background information with viewers of her REVOLT TV talk program Caresha Please during a discussion with Young Miami about her new song, “To Summer, From Cole,” which features the Grammy Award-winning rapper.
Summer Walker introduced a song called “Audio Hug.” “I had requested him to sing for me, but he really didn’t have time. He wanted to meet, but I couldn’t since I was so horribly pregnant. I don’t know if you have seen the photos, but I weighed around 200 pounds. Large were my ankles. It was absurd. Thus, we did not meet. But he did send me something called a “Audio Hug” in the end.
It’s really sweet. When I heard it, I sobbed. He was just being incredibly kind and said that he understands everything I’ve been through and that I could call him if I ever need anything.
We didn’t meet in the studio since I don’t even enjoy working that way, she added, “But we did meet at Dreamville, and that festival was wonderful. That was awesome crap. But following that, we headed to Dave and Buster’s, where we got to break it up.
“We enjoyed ourselves. He received a basketball asshole. Everyone present had their asses whooped. It was insane.
On the first track of Summer Walker’s brand-new Clear 2: Soft Life EP, J. Cole recently announced that his upcoming album, the eagerly anticipated The Fall Off, will be released.
The song serves as a “audio hug” from Cole to the “Girls Need Love” artist and features a touching line from Walker in between, evoking his empowering poem about self-acceptance from the conclusion of Logic’s “AfricAryaN.”
He raps, “I’m thinkin’ about you, I heard you just had you another little baby/ Congratulations, I hope you got through it without any complications/ I find it amazing, the way that you juggle your kids, the business, the fame, the bitches that’s hatin’/ They sit around waiting for you to fall off like the album I’m making.
The father of two also discusses how becoming a parent has softened him in other verses, spitting: “Session 32 bring me to tears, be getting chocked up when I hear it/ Seem like I keep crying off so much since an n-gga had these kids/ And I don’t know what it is that makes me so sensitive, more than I already was.”
Summer Walker and J. Cole, on the other hand, seem to have just developed a friendship. In April, the R&B singer gave a performance at Cole’s Dreamville Festival. Following the show, the two were spotted having fun and shooting hoops together at a Dave & Buster’s after party.
More A-list talent can be found on Walker’s Clear 2: Soft Life EP, which also features Childish Gambino, Solange, and Steve Lacy.
