J. Cole has finally weighed in on the ongoing rap tensions between Drake and Kendrick Lamar in his new track, "Port Antonio." With lyrics like, “I wouldn't have lost a battle, dog, I would've lost a bro,” he reflects on the costs of rivalry and fame and why he chose to bow out of the battle after "7 Min Drill".

Music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy reacts to this track and discusses why J. Cole doesn't need to keep revisiting the battle. Is it time to move on?
