Daylyt and J. Cole's unexpected collaboration, "A Plate of Collard Greens," showcases two of hip-hop's sharpest lyricists going bar for bar over a stripped-back, soulful instrumental. Daylyt sets the tone with his effortless, stream-of-consciousness flow, packed with intricate wordplay, before Cole steps in with introspection and slick references, including a nod to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." Their chemistry is undeniable, pushing each other to new lyrical heights while the minimal production allows the verses to shine. This track isn’t just about flexing skills—it’s a return to the pure essence of hip-hop.
