You may know him from his heavily-downloaded mixtape The Warm Up or his feature on “A Star Is Born” from Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3. Now one of the year’s most-buzzed-about hip-hop newcomers, North Carolina native J. Cole, sits down with Rap-Up TV for an exclusive interview about his humble beginnings as a bill collector to becoming the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. Check back for the rest of our three-part interview.
wow funny how life changes so suddenly – i wish him the best and lets hope that he comes with some quality music – he sounds alot like bow wow just deeper tone – i hop he doesnt rap like him too lol
J. Cole is the best new guy to touch the mic in some years. The Come and The Warm Up are excellent mixtapes and he is a few steps above the these other cats getting shine right now. I can’t wait for his album to drop!
