Critical response Professional ratings Review scoresįriday Night Lights received widespread acclaim from critics.

“He said it was incredible, and I’ve always wanted to bring that record back to life because the original version I recorded in my bedroom-in my old crib, in my small room.” Feeling the time was right for two of rap's most talked about rookies to team up, Cole calmly told Drake that he wanted to revamp the record. My real fans will know that it's an older song,” Cole tells Vibe. And it was him just telling me he heard "In the Morning" for the first time. Cole said “It was my first time in Paris, and I got a text from Drake. Cole and Drake performed the song live on many occasions, such as Drake's Lights Dreams and Nightmares Tour. Ī video for " In the Morning" was shot during a concert in Paris.

When I got offstage, he had just put the song out, and I sat back and watched all the comments as people went crazy. I drove back to Kalamazoo and did the show. Mind you, I didn’t hear anybody else’s verses or the song itself, I just heard the beat and did my verse. But if you can, have it done by today.’ I said, ‘I’ll make it happen somehow.’ “I wrote my verse on the hour-and-a-half ride to Detroit, did the radio promos, left that, went directly to the studio, laid the verse, and sent it to him by 5 o’clock. We got engineers up all night so you got a while to do it. Can you get that verse today? I’m tryna put the song out tonight.’ I honestly didn’t think I could do it in time so I told him that. So I got a call from Kanye and he was like, ‘What’s up? It’s Kanye. I’ll write to it soon.’ The next day I woke up in Kalamazoo, Michigan-I was on tour-and I was getting ready to go to Detroit because I had a radio promo event to do. But nobody told me they wanted to do it for G.O.O.D. I got the beat the night before from my manager.
