Rising Icons: J.Cole

I'm itching to hear his début album and The Warm Up is one of the most played rap albums (its actually a mix-tape but I reckon its good enough to be a album)that I've listened to since The Game's The Documentary.

I like his story telling ability and that he is not your bubble gum/dope selling/all about yo paper "rapper". His style kinda reminds me of Tupac,Nas,Common. Aside from this he is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant pool of rap and I can't wait for his album Cole World.

Anyways, after an evening prowling youtube for some new music I was glad to come across this BET special so check it out to get a glimpse of the artist.
