From ‘January 28th’ to ’03’ Adolescence’, this is the most soulful series of songs that I’ve heard since Jay-Z’s The Blueprint. I’m thinking how that body look naked when you laying on the bedĪnother reason why ‘Wet Dreamz’ stands out is because of the production. ‘That’s when my heart start racing and my body start sweating While one has to question whether the girl of this song is the same girl from ‘Too Deep For The Intro’, Cole makes a record that should have been corny and awkward, hilarious and relatable: This is the Cole that I’ve been dying to hear from since 2010: the Cole that is hungry, determined and not afraid to speak his mind.įollowing ‘January 28th’ is ‘Wet Dreamz’, a great storytelling track about Cole’s first time. Unless he dribble or he fiddle with mics’ I check the toe tag, not one zero in sight He confidently asserts his position in the rap game while simultaneously capturing the boiling sense of frustration within the black community: Cole sounds like an artist reborn on ‘January 28th’. Over a sample that’s more beautiful that a sunset in Hawaii, J. Cole’s previous albums: it’s concise, it features more outside production and it finally has Cole rapping with nothing holding him back.
The great thing about 2014 Forest Hills Drive is that it addresses every single criticism I had of J.
Cole raps with a renewed sense of purpose and delivers his best project since Friday Night Lights, an album that I can proudly say changed my life for the better: 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Unconcerned with critical acclaim and commercial success, J.
During this retelling of events, Cole wonders if his success has cost him his happiness and, if so, how can he rectify it. Cole gives us a semi-autobiographical account of his upbringing in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This is the place where he had his first crush, made his first beats and started his journey towards becoming a rap superstar. With his third album, J. Home is where the heart is and J. Cole’s home is 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
