"Port Antonio" is a song by American rapperJ. Cole. Initially released onInstagram exclusively on October 10, 2024, it was later officially distributed throughout streaming services on February 21, 2025. The song was produced by DZL,Omen and J. Cole, sampling a live version ofCleo Sol's song "Know That You Are Loved" and "A Garden of Peace" byLonnie Liston Smith.[1]
Within the 2024 escalation of theDrake–Kendrick Lamar feud, Cole released "7 Minute Drill" as a response to "Like That" byKendrick Lamar,Future, andMetro Boomin. Two days later, he publicly apologized for the song and took it down on streaming services to resign out of the feud.[2] In "Port Antonio," the first track he released about the feud after "7 Minute Drill," he notably looks back at the conflict and clarifies his apology and respect for both of the rappers.[3]
The song also discusses about his experiences growing up inFayetteville, North Carolina, what he calls "the Ville," as well as problems with the competition of themusic industry such as botting streams.[3]
