J. Cole has generally been modest in the past, but he's just crowned himself the "best rapper alive" in his new collab with Benny the Butcher.
"Johnny P's Caddy" dropped Thursday night, ahead of J. Cole's 37th birthday today (Friday). This is the first single from Benny's upcoming album Tana Talk 4.
Following Benny's intro, J. Cole raps, "Really no MC equal, feel me? Cole pen be lethal, crib like an old MTV show. On God, the best rapper alive."
His confidence isn't wrong though. His album The Off-Season went platinum in May, topped the Billboard 200 and received a Best Rap Album Grammy nomination.
