J. Cole reveals he was "genuinely nervous" about hopping on BIA's "London"

Last Friday (8 April) BIA released her new J. Cole collaboration "London", marking J. Cole's fist release since featuring on YG's "Scared Money" with Moneybagg Yo in February.

On Instagram, J. Cole reflected on the collaboration, revealing that he was "blown away" when BIA played him the track for the first time, "I Asked BIA to come through the studio for some whole other shit. First time meeting her. We chop it up. She plays me this new song she had just did. Mannnnnnn in that moment I was blown away."

"I thought about this song for a month straight, it was my favourite song and I only heard it one time," J. Cole continued. "She hit me recently and sent me the song (she musta knew I wanted to hear it again!!!) and I was just grateful to have it in my possession. When the thought and conversation came up about me adding a verse, I was excited but genuinely nervous cuz I didn’t even see how the song could be better after what she did to it. I didn’t want to fuck nothing up! I’m grateful I Ended up catching the right wave."

He added, "Thank you BIA for having me on this record with you, love this shit and love your energy and spirit."
