J. Cole and the Dreamville family are kicking off the new year on the right note.

On Thursday (Jan. 16), the label released the "director's cut" of last year’s album Revenge of the Dreamers III. The updated version consists of 12 new songs featuring appearances from Dreamville members Bas, Cozz, Ari Lennox, J.I.D, Lute, Omen and EarthGang, as well as fellow rappers Vince Staples, Smino, Guapdad 4000, Dreezy, Childish Major and others. Earlier this week, Dreamville released two tracks from the LP: Ari Lennox’s “Bussit” and EarthGang’s “Still Up” featuring Reason.

The original Revenge of the Dreamers III project, which arrived last July and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. ROTD3 is a super collaborative project from a comprehensive “rap camp,” which entailed 10 consecutive days of recording sessions in Atlanta featuring Dreamville artists and a revolving guest list of top-notch rappers and producers.

Cole, who completed his KOD Tour last summer, described the rap camp as a wonderful creative environment.

"It’s like a super-collaborative environment—inviting, welcoming. That’s taken me time to learn," Cole told XXL in March 2019 about the recording process. "I’ve just started learning that lesson about four years ago [with 2014] Forest Hills Drive. Let me listen more. Let me allow people into this world. That came from Bas. Watching Bas work on his first couple albums was inspiring to me ’cause he’s a super-collaborative artist. He’s a nigga that needs people—the producer, the musician, ideas."
