In a massive win for fans of elite level penmanship, TDE’s Ab-Soul has officially shared his remix of the J. Cole and Daylyt underground favorite, “Collard Greens (11.11.23).” The original track, titled “A Plate Of Collard Greens,” first surfaced as a YouTube exclusive in September 2024, but this new iteration previewed during Soulo’s legendary three hour Instagram Live session—adds a final, fiery verse recorded on November 11, 2023. Produced by Python P and Saint Pat Beatz, the song serves as a spiritual successor to their collaborative work on “Pi” from Cole’s Might Delete Later era.
The remix arrives at a pivotal moment in hip hop history, landing just weeks after J. Cole released his seventh and final studio album, The Fall-Off, on February 6, 2026. While Cole recently confirmed in an AMA on his Inevitable website that he is retiring from making “J. Cole albums” to focus on production, “Collard Greens (11.11.23)” proves that his competitive spirit remains intact. Ab-Soul’s closing verse is a vibrant, evocative display of wordplay that perfectly complements Daylyt’s “pulpit ready” opening and Cole’s Michael Jackson inspired mid-section. For those who believe the art of the lyricist is fading, this 2026 update is a “food for the soul” masterclass that demands a spot on every streaming service.
