Jermaine Cole aka J. Cole is getting big on the scene because of his smooth rap flow and chill beats.
Cole is best known for being the first artist to be signed to Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation.
Cole started rapping at the age of 12 when his cousin showed him the basics of rhyming.
Inspired by Tupac Shakur,Canibus, Nas, and Outkast, J. Cole developed a love for telling stories in his lyrics.
Cole released his debut mixtape, The Come Up, in late 2007 after graduating college.
Jay-Z signed Cole after hearing one of the songs, “Lights Please.”
Prior to releasing his second mixtape, Cole released the single, “Show Me Somethin’” for promotional purposes.
He released his second mixtape, The Warm Up, on June 15, 2009.
My favorite songs by him are “Lights Please”, “I Get Up” and “Heartache”.
J.Cole’s debut album Cole World will be coming out later this year.
