Lil Yachty and J. Cole surprised fans with the release of their collaborative track “THE SECRET RECIPE.”

The joint hears Yachty and Cole open up about their frustrations with the rap game and the influence they’ve had on the culture, while a psychedelic-jazz sonic background supports the honest, hard-hitting bars the pair deliver. Its accompanying music video, helmed by AMD Visuals, is a simple one that sees the two performing the track in what looks like an intimate venue — really encouraging audiences to listen to the music and pay more attention to what Cole and Yachty are saying.

“THE SECRET RECIPE.” arrives one week into Yachty’s The Field Trip Tour, which supports his latest studio effort Let’s Start Here.
