Cole Summer

With J. Cole‘s sophomore effort, Born Sinner, hitting shelves on June 25th, fans have been itching for a taste of the new album. While Cole assures us this new freebie isn’t a preview of what to expect from the record, it’s still a pleasant surprise nonetheless. “Cole Summer” serves as a vehicle for J. Cole to reflect about his life and his spot in the game. It’s nearly five minutes of pure stream of consciousness rap over a chopped up sample of Lauryn Hill‘s “Nothing Even Matters.” No chorus. No hook. No bullshit. Grab the free download, and stay tuned for more music from Cole before his album drops.

[Hip-Hop] J. Cole – Maine on Fire

Posted by tylercole - April 18, 2013

Fresh off the release of his visual for the hit single “Power Trip,” featuring Miguel, North Carolina native J. Cole leaks a previously unreleased track today. The single titled “Maine on Fire” is a hard-hitting, self-produced track that has the Roc Nation rapper spitting some witty lyrics over an old school beat. Lately, Cole has been on his grind preparing for the release of his sophomore LP, Born Sinner, dropping June 25th, but fans of this nostalgic track can find it on Funk Master Flex’s mixtape, Who You Mad At? Me or Yourself?

[Hip-Hop] J. Cole – Power Trip (ft. Miguel)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - February 14, 2013

Shortly after dropping an unexpected free project, J. Cole gives us the first single from his long awaited sophomore album, Born Sinner. On “Power Trip,” Cole enlists recent Grammy winner, Miguel, for an appropriately-timed love song. While plenty of emcees touch on romance in their raps, Cole has a way of capturing certain intricacies and complexities within relationships that few can articulate quite as effectively. Miguel fits in perfectly over the instrumental providing a dope interlude of sorts. Stream this dope single below and look out for Born Sinner, due later this year.

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - February 5, 2013

“24K of Gold” was just one of many highlights on Big Sean‘s excellent Detroit mixtape. Now Sean’s go-to producer, Key Wane, has released the remix featuring none other than The Chef, Raekwon. The Wu-Tang affiliate blesses the track with his usual abrasive yet eloquent flow, while Big Sean and J. Cole lock things down on the front end of the track. This little gem can be found on Key Wane’s new mixtape, So Many Keys, which features a myriad of songs he’s produced over the last year.

Posted by tylercole - December 21, 2012

Just in time for the fated “end of the world”, J.Cole drops some new heat for fans all over the globe in his track “2012”. On the appropriately-titled self-produced song, the NC rapper is in a celebratory mood as he commemorates the Mayan prophecy. Mixing plenty of spanish percussion with a fast paced beat and quick rhyme, this is one of the few times we actually hear a party anthem from Cole and what makes this dope single even sweeter is the fact that its completely free. Be sure to go out with a bang and listen to the track below. If we make it through the fated prophecy, then you can hear more from the RocNation emcee when his sophomore LP Born Sinner drops January 28th.

[Hip-Hop] J. Cole – Miss America Reprise

Posted by tylercole - December 10, 2012

With only a month away before J.Cole drops his sophomore LP Born Sinner in January, the Roc Nation emcee hits the interwebs with a new track titled “Miss America Reprise”. Always keeping his lyrics intellectual and real, this self-produced song has Cole speaking on the mental state of the youth and about becoming more socially aware. Mixing the thought-provoking bars with a dope synth and drum melody makes for a hot new single.
