Tee Grizzley has been on a good run.
First, he had Future on “Swear to God,” where the Atlanta rapper teased his recent mixtape by mentioning his alter-ego Pluto multiple times and starting the chorus off by rapping, “F—k your album, s—t ain’t slappin’ like my mixtape.” Then, Tee linked up with fellow Detroit rapper 42 Dugg on a song fittingly named after their hometown. And now he gets an insane feature verse from an energized J. Cole on “Blow for Blow.”
Directed by Jerry Production, the video shows Cole and Tee making their way through NYC as they put on an exercise in lyrical ability. Cole’s lines stand out the most, though. He starts his verse of with raps like, “Blow for blow, Cole flow just prestigious/Sweats and tees, no unnecessary accessories, the GOAT just from features/Proceed with throat-cut procedures,” reminding fans that he’s still one of the game’s best, even if he laid his sword down before the Battle of the Big 3 got a little weird.
Tee Grizzley did his thing, too. He sets his part off with, “OK, chain nastier than cow manure, bust down my shooter, saw more wires than a bomb defuser,” as he followed up Cole’s “Mo Money, Mo Problems” Mase homage on the chorus, where he spits, “Now, who hot? Who not?/Tell me, who flopped? Who sell out the tours/Who rap with trap n—as that wet up your doors?/Who go harder than them and never let off before?/Who got your wh—e pokin’ her head out the door?“
Tee is expected to finally drop his fifth solo album, Post Traumatic, on Oct. 11.
