🗑️ Not Too Late(feat. K. Fox) (prod. No I.D.)

✨ Wait a Minute(prod. Shea Taylor)(Party Poppin')
Song was listed for sale on the YouKilledThis Discord server in December 2019, but was never sold as the server was taken down. Previewed on the "Inevitable" Podcast, was originally thought to be from "2014 Forest Hills Drive" sessions but it actually came from the "Cole World: The Sideline Story" sessions. Originally meant to be the album's single since Jay-Z preferred it over "Work Out". Song even got mixed & mastered, but Cole asked Jay to pull it at the very last second to which Jay obliged. Much to Memphis Bleek's surprise. If you know, you know. That aka shit, but she work for delta !!

Track that was previewed in "Applying Pressure: The Off-Season Documentary", this particular scene that was shown in the Documentary was taken place in 2016 and shows Cole working on a track for "4 Your Eyez Only", shows Cole adding vocals and completeing/adding production to the beat hes working on, doesn't sound like any released track from "4 Your Eyez Only" or from that era so presumably unreleased, audio is heavily inaudible due to Cole talking over the clip and being extremely short, faint vocals and a faint beat can be heard through the headphone bleed, sounds like hes flowing.
