"No Role Modelz" comes off 2014 Forest Hills Drive, J. Cole's third studio album, and went out as its third single on August 4, 2015, through Dreamville, Roc Nation, Columbia and Vinyl Crown. Phonix Beats built the track, with extra production from Cole, around an interpolation of Project Pat's "Don't Save Her", and the writing credit runs to Juicy J, DJ Paul and a crowd of other names besides Cole and Phonix. Kaye Fox sings backing vocals, and MF Mez recorded and mixed it.
Critics were split, but the public wasn't. It climbed to 36 on the Hot 100, Cole's fourth top-40 hit on his own and the album's best-charting single, went platinum in May 2016 as the first song to get there without a music video, and was certified diamond in December 2024.
