i-GOTNEXT: J.COLE




When Jay-z signs an artist, it an investment. Not just any financial one. But one of potential, quality, and substance. These are the reasons that Jay's Roc Nation label first signee, J.Cole, can say i-GOTNEXT!$1$!

Rapping since 12, and started to make beats at 15. J.Cole considers himself a mash up of influences. He has said that 2PAC, Cannabis, and Nas had the most impact on him. The lyrical artist like Jay-z, Eminem, etc.

Born in Fayetteville, NC, J.Cole is a St. John University graduate. Who is fresh of breath air. This young man is apart a movement that is taking hip hop culture and rap music back to it's positive and conscious roots. I am really excited about this young brother. I feel he has what it takes to push the culture foward in postive direction. But i'll let decide. Introducting J.Cole
