The 34-year-old artist spoke about his intentions in XXL‘s “An Oral History of Dreamville’s ‘Revenge of the Dreamers III’ Recording Sessions.” In the piece, […]
J. Cole is convinced “cancel culture” should be, well, canceled. During a recent interview with XXL magazine, the Grammy-nominated rapper spoke about the politically correct movement that calls for the public denouncement of controversial celebrities—specifically those who have been accused or racist, sexist, or abusive behavior. Cole argued that the idea of “canceling” an individual for their wrongdoings […]
J. Cole has shared the official video for “MIDDLE CHILD,” his first track of 2019. Cole announced the release via social media Friday and shared a still of the visual on Sunday night. It’s unclear if “MIDDLE CHILD” is a stand-alone track or if it’ll land on a full-length project. There’s speculation it will appear on either […]
