According to the Mayan calendar, the world is supposed to end today. 

NEW MUSIC: J.Cole & Major Lazer “Get Free Coleworld” 

As of right now, the world is still intact and we’re all still here, but in the unfortunate event that the world begins to crumble by lunchtime, you must listen to J.Cole’s new fun track “2012.” 

In the wake of the world ending, J.Cole hit the studio to poke fun at the Mayan prediction. 

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Kendrick Lamar Says He’s To Blame For Delayed J.Cole Collaboration

On his Dreamville site, J.Cole writes a message to his fans: 

“If the world ends tomorrow, damn. I would be mad as shit for 2 reasons. First, I’m not with my family. That would suck.

What would also be wack is if I never got to drop this song.

Summer of 08′. Mark Pitts meeting had happened a month ago. He said he fucks with me, but he not talking about signing me. Ok. Fuck that. I’ma make my new shit so stupid that the next time he meet with me he gonna HAVE to sign me. Same summer I made Grown Simba and started The Warm Up with a “fuck it” mentality. A few special songs I made that summer haven’t dropped yet. This is one of them.

2012.

Some of the most fun I ever had making a record. Alone in my room, making the beat, writing the raps, Jammin to this.

Here we are, Years Later, and right on time. Enjoy

– oh yea. Shout to the spanish nigga that came through and played the percussions. To the cool ass horn player that laced me, I forgot his name. This was my first Quincy Jones moment. Shout to Lil Cole. Shout to Aristotle. Shout to YOU.”

Besides making fun tracks about the world ending, J.Cole’s readying his sophomore effort, Born Sinner, due out on Janary 28.
