Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are buddies. So much so that we've been waiting for that Kendrick Cole album for years.

But even though his boss and K.Dot are tight, Dreamville artist J.I.D. wants everyone to know that Dreamville is still in intense competition with Kendrick's label TDE

We competing with TDE. That's what needs to be known. Dreamville, we got to step this shit the fuck up. Them niggas is fire. We gotta to step it up," J.I.D. admitted. 

Besides Cole and J.I.D., Dreamville consists of Ari Lennox, Bas, Cozz, Omen, Lute and EarthGang.

TDE's roster is Kendrick,  Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q, SZA, Lance Skiiiwalker, SiR, Zacari and Reason.

Do you think Dreamville can step up and catch up?
