J. Cole is a rapper from Fayetteville or Fayettenam as he likes to call it. He's signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label and was featured on Jay's last album too.
He released a mixtape called "Friday Night Lights" at the end of last year, which had very good reviews. I liked a lot of the songs mostly because of the good and fresh sounding production(which J. Cole mostly did himself) and because of his good flow. His lyrics are good too but the topics sometimes are a bit worn out. Check out some of the highlight tracks from the mixtape below:
J. Cole - Before I'm Gone
J. Cole - Farewell
Cole is working on his debut album right now, it will maybe be named "Cole World" but this isn't set yet. I'm pretty curious how it's gonna be, I just hope he produces most of the tracks himself because I love his beats.
He already released two singles from the album and they are good but not that bombastic:
I like the second track a lot more than the first one and I hope the album will be as good as this track. The album should be out pretty soon but there is no release date set yet.
Good use of backing vocals on the first track.
