Cole2“ The first thing that rushed to my mind was the missed opportunity of community. A combination of a competitive ego mixed with a deep fear of rejection had kept me from collaborating with peers that I respected all of these years and prevented me from building real friendships with them. I had spent my career closed off. I didn’t want that to be the case forever. The next thing I thought about was Dreamville, the label. It hadn’t yet been cultivated to the level that I had always envisioned, and I felt that in order for that to happen, I would have to be operating at a high level as an artist in order to add significant energy to the movement and to the careers that we were helping to build. During this conversation with myself though, the strongest revelation I had was this; I wanted to rap again. Rap, rap. I missed rhyming the way I rhymed on The Come Up (my first ever mixtape released in 2007) the same way that I missed being able to dunk how I was dunking at age 23. Father Time might not bring my bounce back, I thought, but if I rededicated my time and attention to my craft and allowed myself to fall back in love with the sport of rap, then I could far surpass any level that my pen ever reached in the past. I knew this would take time, patience, discipline, focus, and a willingness to step out of my comfort zone, but I believed it would be worth it. And so it was decided. Basketball would have to wait one more time.”

"Trying to prove something was all I had ever really known, and truly I loved the pursuit. I wondered if this was the very spot on this long journey that all my favorites — the ones that lived long enough — had reached before. The moment where the blessing of success places a curse on the very same drive that brought it to you in the first place, and the words you write moving forward never surpass the ones you wrote in the past. I had to have an honest talk with myself."

it also has elements of the basketball imagery of his previous projects too,
I’m surprised there isn’t a Forest Hill Dr street sign on the ground somewhere
