After a lengthy wait, J. Cole is finally ready to blow up in the spotlight. The Roc Nation rapper will officially launch into album mode next week when his first single arrives.
“We finally married a single and we picked it, so that’s next week. There’s no more holdup,” he told Ms. Drama TV at the BET Awards nominations press conference. “As of next week, you’ll see me on full-fledged promo mode.”
Without giving away a title, he did offer a few additional hints. “It’s summertime, it’s incredible. It samples one of my favorite albums from my growing up experience.”
When asked if it was a sample of his Roc Nation boss Jay-Z, he responded, “Nah, you’re in the family though.”
Cole’s debut is expected to include production from No I.D., Brian Kidd, and Danja. He will hit the road with his Roc Nation affiliate Rihanna starting in June.

This is decent, but it doesn't sound like a big hit to me. Hopefully it does well for him though. Here's the single cover:

This is kind of plain but is flow is great as expected. I can't see myself getting majorly into this though, and same goes for radio.

Yeah this is a hit now. His first week album sales really affected this on the charts.
I still wish I liked it more.

I can't believe this went to Top 50 at Pop. It's NOTHING like what they're into right now.

This is almost Top 10 at Pop. I'm surprised. I was rooting for J. Cole to break out for a long time but this song really annoys me now.

The success of this is still so strange to me.

Yeah, this is hot but I am kinda shocked it ended up becoming THIS big. It's on the radio every 5 minutes now.
