Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Remember when Kendrick Lamar’s younger sister Kayla Duckworth accidentally hinted that her brother and J. Cole were working on a collaborative album last year? Now, it looks like the album is well on its way.

On Saturday, Ab-Soul sat down with The Breakfast Club to promote his latest album, Do What Thou Wilt, and was asked if he had a feature on the joint Kendrick and Cole record. “I can’t speak on that,” he said with a smile. “I wish I could.”

While he admitted that he doesn’t know much about the project, he confirmed that it’s definitely in the works—he’s also hoping that one of his verses gets featured on the record.

“You know they move like the mob, you never know with these guys but they got something in the works,” he explained. “They been working on that motherf**ker for a while.”

Last November, Kendrick and Cole swapped beats, rapping over "A Tale of 2 Citiez" from 2014 Forest Hills Drive and To Pimp a Butterfly’s Alright, respectively.

For now, you can check Ab Soul’s full interview with The Breakfast Club here, and listen to his new album, Do What Thou Wilt, via Apple Music.
