Maybe J. Cole realized that his previous joint, “Ni**az Know“, received a lukewarm response, or maybe it’s just that dude wanted to feed into his more pop-loving audience. Whatever the case, he just dropped a very radio-friendly new cut, “Crooked Smile”, that features TLC. Well, the piano and synth-heavy single features two-third of the group, of course, as T-Boz and Chilli deliver the hook and some backing vocals. Like “Ni**az Know” and “Power Trip”, this will land on Cole’s upcoming Born Sinner LP out June 18.
