After doling out his feel-good new single with TLC earlier this week, J. Cole is back on his promo game today with the track listing and guest features for his new album, Born Sinner. At first glance, it looks like a lengthy affair, though it’s important to note that four of the 16 tracks are interludes or skits. Also, those of you looking to cop the deluxe version will get five more songs, including one called “New York Times” with 50 Cent and Bas. Me? I’m looking forward to the joint with Kendrick Lamar. He and Cole have great chemisty.
Also, yes this is real, ya bish.

So excited! Just heard ‘Crooked Smile’ on Sound Cloud:) http://smarturl.it/CrookedSmileSC
I agree to an extent. I feel like album-wise, J. Cole is better doing poppier, R&B-leaning stuff whereas his more straight-rhyming stuff sounds better on mixtapes. I hope that makes sense.
Yes. Yes it is. LOL
woooo TLC ftw
I’m looking forward to this. I was probably one of the few people in the internet/blog world who thought his first album was solid. A few missteps here and there, but solid and he went gold.
I’ve heard him say in interviews that he’s the only person rapping on the album. I’m going to assume (based on that quote from him) that Kendrick is providing the hook..but we’ll see. “Power Trip” is getting airplay so win for him.
Is the Kendrick Lamar feature the new Lil Wayne feature?
“Let Nas Down” haha yeah no shit
