"Amari " (stylized as "a m a r i") is a song by American rapper J. Cole . It was released on May 14, 2021 on Cole's sixth studio album, The Off-Season .[2]
Background [ edit ]
The song title, "Amari", is named after Dreamville president and manager Ibrahim Hamad 's son, also the nephew of Dreamville rapper Bas .[3]
Production and composition [ edit ]
J. Cole revealed how the song was created on Timbaland 's BeatClub YouTube channel. The song was produced during a Twitch live stream by Timbaland. When Cole heard it, he contemplated reaching out, but wrote to the beat through a rip on the internet. He said "I looped up the YouTube lil' rip, made a whole song on this shit. I spent the next two days writing and recording the song, and right when I was 90% through writin' it, I was like, I should probably call him now and get the real file."[4] After asking for the file and playing the song, Timbaland said he didn't save the beat and had to remake it.[5]
Music video [ edit ]
On May 17, 2021, Cole released the official music video for "Amari" directed by fellow North Carolina rapper Mez , who also directed the "Middle Child " video.[6] Scenes in the video features Cole rapping in front of a Dreamville helicopter and in a dorm-room with the wall lined with platinum plaques. A message saying "hold on to your inner child," reads at the end.[7]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Writing for HipHopDX , Clark Trent said "The Timbaland-assisted "Amari" proves the magic ultimately falls on the beatpicker as T-Minus, Sucuki and Cole all combine for a relatively limp staccato blitz of guitar loops."[8] Clash said Cole reflects "on his success and how he made it out even through trials and tribulations."[9] Rolling Stone said the song was a standout on the album "as he alternates between agile rapping and serious singing."[10]
Commercial performance [ edit ]
Upon its first week of release, "Amari" debuted at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 , becoming his third top five song on the chart.[11]
