French Montana Speaks With J. Cole
It's not the first time that French has mentioned Cole being interested in executive producing Excuse My French. “He [J. Cole] almost executive produced my first album [Excuse My French] after I played him the music. I think Cole is one of the dopest artists that came out," he told Montreality back in 2017, "I just remember when we were in the Club Paradise Tour with Drake and I was working on my first album, and we had “Pop That” and everything. I was playing him my album and he just called me one day like, “Yo French, I would love to help you with the album. Let me executive produce it.”
