Artists to Watch-- J. Cole

J. Cole is a rapper and producer out of Fayetteville, North Carolina and is the first artist to be signed to Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation.

After graduating from St. John's University Magna Cum Laude, J. Cole released his debut mixtape, The Come Up in late 2007 with mild success. He hit it big when Jay-Z heard "Lights Please," a single off his second and most recent mixtape, The Warm Up, which dropped on June 15th of this year after Cole inked the deal with Roc Nation.

Since then, Cole did a verse on Jay-Z's song, "A Star Is Born," which is featured on The Blueprint 3. The Warm Up, is extremely dope so download it and also check out his impressive rendition of Big Boi's song, "Royal Flush"
