J. Cole Says T-Boz and Chilli Of TLC Are On 'Born Sinner'

With the release date right around the bend, we've been hearing some interesting words about J. Cole's upcoming sophomore album Born Sinner, the previous being that he's got a track on the LP telling how he disappointed Nas, and the most recent being that managed to pull in a pretty interesting feature. While across the pond doing an interview with Charlie Sloth of BBC 1Xtra, Cole gave us some insight into the features that he's got slated for the album: "Nobody’s rapping on the album." An interesting move to not enlist any emcees, but whatever. He's always managed to hold down his mixtape game fine without any aid. Following that, he shared word that T-Boz and Chilli of TLC will be making an appearance: "I got TLC on the al...

J. Cole Admits He Changed 'Born Sinner' Release Date To Compete With Kanye West

So, when we saw that J. Cole pushed the release date for his upcoming sophomore album Born Sinner to June 18 following Kanye West's announcement of his album Yeezus dropping on the same date, it was pretty reasonable to assume that something related to competition was in the works; seems that this is true, as Cole explained the method behind his move in an interview with Billboard: "I'm not going to sit [here]... I worked too hard to come a week later after Kanye West drops an amazing album. It'd be like, 'Oh and J.Cole dropped too, a week later.' Nah. I'm going to go see him on that date. He's the greatest. So it's like, I'm a competitor by nature so it was instant, it wasn't even a thought." That's that. The pair of albums should generate plenty of buzz when the date drops, but keep in mind also that Mac Miller i...

J. Cole

"...how many Kanye beats do a n*gga gotta murder to prove my mind's further..."

Let's be honest: Cole World: The Sideline Story was a major slash in Cole's forward progress as the preeminent emcee driving the original root of the Digital Era movement; it was all a matter of the mainstream debut shivers (or possibly Hov's misdirection), but this latest record "The Cure" set over Watch The Throne's "Lift Off," at least by my thoughts, is a testament to his own talent that revives the idea of his initial genius.

The four and a half minute record is rife with monologues and autobiographical lines, giving us the more introspective J., as well as the in-depth lyricism he built himself upon. While aspects of the beat are borrowed, it's highly original, and I can only equate the quality to everything prior to 2011.

I'm not sure what Cole's up to at the moment, but "The Cure" is a promising start, so give it a listen, and throw up your thoughts.
