J. Cole is a new up in coming rapper; he only has released 2 mix tapes. He is a hip-hop/ Rapper. He has a 4 year degree in English and you can defiantly tell in his songs with the words he uses and how he uses them. The feel of his music is a more relaxed feel. His lyrics are the best part of his songs. He tells stories in the form of a rap song. Whenever I listen to his music I just want to relax. I think he sounds a lot like Drake Drizzy Rodgers, a rapper from Toronto Canada. They both have the vocabulary of a college graduate (which J. Cole is). They also both have the same types of beats, relaxed and slow. The difference is the types of things they rap about. J. Cole is all about real life and relating to normal people. Drake is more influenced by Young Money (a rap group lead by lil Wayne) which causes him to rap about the famous life style of money, cars, and women. I like both of these to people but I like J. Cole more just because I can relate more. My favorite song is Problems. It’s a song about bill collectors, police, and anyone else who can cause problems for the normal people. At the end of the song he say “In the end of the day all these people just like us”. I think this a lot because its true and he is putting himself on the same level as me. A lot of people think that J. Cole will be the next big star which I agree with completely. He is hands down favorite Rapper right now. My overall opinion is that I can’t wait for his new album to come out of Friday
