Grew Up Fast by J. Cole
Sounds so soulful, don’t you agree? As a result of J. Cole reaching two million followers on twitter, he decided to give thanks by sending out a smooth new track called "Grew Up Fast," dropped more or less 2 A.M. EST. Young Simba flows maliciously over this sweet, sweet David Ruffin sample, bringing some classic soul to his repertoire while he lays down the usual.
Video: Party (feat. J. Cole) by Beyoncé
Beyoncé premiered her video "Party" during BET's 106 & Park and by the looks of it made quite a few changes to the resulting clip. Instead of the great André 3000 gracing the clip for his guest appearance in the album, new guy J. Cole replaces him with a cameo for the official Kanye West-produced single off the 4 album.
Believe me when I say that I don't usually post stuff from her but the beats on this one really got me going. Of course the video, with the trailer-park party theme happening making it "an improbably joyous place to be" and yes, "Cause we like to party, ey, ey, ey."
“We out in Abu Dhabi, we like to party. We don’t cause trouble, we just ride Bugatti”
Video: Lost Ones by J. Cole
"With just a Dollar and a Dream, this video was shot in 2008 before I even had a record deal. 3 years later, watching it still gives me the same emotions. This is dedicated to the lost ones." - Jermaine Cole
An old but new visual for J. Cole's very emotional, "Lost Ones," off his successful debut album, Cole World: Sideline Story. It deals with some serious topics other artists won't even think of dealing with. It's just impressive how he hung on to a video of this quality and keep it under the radar for 3 years even before he even had Roc Nation.
"Lost Ones" tells the story of three different perspectives. An acknowledgement to a Lauryn Hill classic with a similar title. Also, the stand-out to his debut.
