On the penultimate song from J. Cole’s sixth studio album "The Off-Season", the North Carolina native reminisces about a former friend who succumbed to the temptations of drugs and gang life. The narrative culminates with the apparent murder of J. Cole’s friend as he laments over their deteriorating friendship.
The track is self-produced and pays homage to the late MF DOOM, pulling samples from his November 2003 instrumental, “Valerian Root.”
“c l o s e” debuted and peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the charting week ending May 29, 2021.
