Here’s the best case scenario of a joke becoming a reality. J. Cole trolled listeners with his 2014 Forest Hills Drive closer “Note to Self,” in which he tells a fraudulent story about a conversation he had with Dale Earnhardt Jr.; now the rapper and NASCAR driver cover ESPN Magazine’s 2015 music issue.
Well, that happened quickly. After rumors leaked early Sunday morning (November 15), J. Cole officially announces that his new album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, due to release on December 9 via Roc Nation.
In a perfect world, the art of staying woke–being aware of the events transpiring in the–world would be a global practice. Since that isn’t the case, Dreamville’s own Bas challenges listeners to “be alert” in the visual for “Mook In New Mexico.”
With Cozz & Effect finally available for public consumption, Dreamville’s resident young gunner, Cozz, delivers the closing track, “Can’t Knock Tha Hustle (Remix),” featuring J. Cole.
Dreamville rapper Bas drops the video for “Vacation” off of his Last Winter project.
On his second Dollar & A Dream tour run and in honor of The Warm Up‘s fifth anniversary, J. Cole took over New York City’s Highline Ballroom as he hurdled through cuts from his critically acclaimed project.
J. Cole is going to be busy this summer, specifically July. The Roc Nation rapper announced that his second annual Dollar & A Dream tour is going down and it will be a celebration of the fifth anniversary of his The Warm Up mixtape, which he will perform in its entirety.
Today, Bas put on for his Dreamville clique via the newly established label’s first commercial release, Last Winter. With his major label debut comes a visual for the interlude “Building Blocks.”
Today, Bas delivered a visual for “Ceelo With The Gs” from Dreamville’s The Revenge of the Dreamers mixtape in advance of his next major release, Last Winter, due out April 29.
J. Cole’s dollar and a dream days have blossomed into a potential multi-million dollar reality.
To say J. Cole is having one of those “best week ever’s” would be a pretty safe and reassuring bet.
Add major label record executive to J. Cole‘s resume. The North Carolina bred rapper’s Dreamville label has been picked up for distribution by Interscope Records.
