Kota the Friend and Big Sean connect for the first time on “MICHIGAN,” and the result is a confident, cool-headed anthem built on focus and personal growth. The track arrives as a teaser for Kota’s upcoming album No Rap on Sunday, and it packs plenty of wisdom into its runtime.
The Brooklyn rapper and Detroit native prove to be a seamless match, trading verses that celebrate mental clarity, self-reliance, and the hustle that got them here. “Cold like Michigan” isn’t just a nod to the weather—it’s a metaphor for composure under pressure. The two lyricists lean into a grounded mindset that doesn’t waste energy on distractions or doubt.
Kota also handles the production, laying down a mellow but determined beat that lets the rhymes shine without sacrificing groove. It’s a refreshing and motivating track, and a strong indicator that No Rap on Sunday will be packed with introspection and intention.
