The summer is here and that only means there’s plenty of skin to be exposed where the sun does shine. Jermaine is making his contribution to the ladies’ sweat devotion with the first official single to the album likely to be named Cole World before the end of September.
In defense of “Work Out”, which drops on the one-year anniversary of Cole’s breakthrough mixtape The Warm Up, the delay stems from its sample of Kanye West’s “New Workout Plan” and getting it cleared by that original track’s five writers/publishers. Thankfully, the final product was worth the wait; it’s a talk box-ed slice of slangin’ funk reminiscent of early ’90s West Coast gangsta rap. It’ll get you sweatin’, but probably not from doing crunches.
