remember this guy? that’s the homie j. cole. i wrote about him a while back, and a bunch of you all really liked his music. like i said before, he reps fayetteville, NC as hard as fresh prince reps west philly. and he’s pretty much the next hip hop power move maker. he even makes his own beats. like this joint.

incredible, right? right. well, my girl elle of let’s just eat cheese chopped it up with jermaine, and the interview is extra thorough. everything from music to nostalgia for those college days to his goatee. and so much more. the writing is very impressive. on the professional tip. she writes like she works for vibe or something. ha. enjoy.

for misfits only: lights please (j. cole interview)

and i know you liked the song, so indulge.

DL: J. Cole – I Get Up

the best rapper alive performing “minority report” off kingdom come acapella at DC’s kennedy center for the annual “thisday” festival. this year, the festival’s theme, “africa rising,” was devoted to finding sustainable solutions rather than on the problems facing the continent. john legend, tyson beckford, and models that i don’t give two damns about were also in the buliding. more pics and info over at DC fab.

shout out to let’s just eat cheese for the exclusive footage.
