New Music: “Born Sinner,” J. Cole feat. James Fauntleroy (2013)
The album stream for J. Cole’s “Born Sinner” is still up! Buy the album this Tuesday—it’s worth the money.
And I love that Fauntleroy is somewhat in the public eye now. He’s found success as a songwriter, working hits like “No Air” by Jordan Sparks and “Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake. But now it seems his name is everywhere! He’s definitely someone whose brain I’d love to pick.

J. Cole released a song called “Let Nas Down” from his upcoming album, Born Sinner. On it, he talks about —duh— letting down Nas, one of the greatest rappers of all-time. Help him get happy again.

Look at that! It only took me one month to update the downloads page this time!
That, ladies and gentleman, is what I like to call “progress.”
Album Stream: “Born Sinner,” J. Cole
Is album streaming the way of the future? JT did it. Daft Punk did it. Now it’s J. Cole’s turn. I’m listening to “Born Sinner” now—10 days before it officially drops.
For those who have listened already, whatcha think about it?
And in today’s music news…
After days of teasing, the Wale/Rihanna remix to “Bad” was released earlier today. It doesn’t beat the original Wale/Tiara Thomas version, but a little remix never hurt nobody! Plus, the original original version of “Bad” (Tiara Thomas sans Wale) was put up a few days ago, so this is a great time for publicity for Wale’s third album “The Gifted,” which arrives June 25.
J. Cole released new music today, just two weeks—the release date was moved up to June 18, same day as “Yeezus”—before his new album is set to hit stores/iTunes/etc. “Crooked Smile,” which features TLC, will be on “Born Sinner” along with “Power Trip,” “Miss America” and “N***az Know.”

Lyric Video: “Power Trip,” J. Cole feat. Miguel (2013)
This new trend of producing lyric videos is very interesting to me. Why do labels take the time to create creative videos surrounding just the lyrics? Do they make the anticipation greater for official videos? Do official videos live up to that hype?
Regardless, this is the first one I’ve ever posted and it’s mostly because I love this song so much. “Power Trip” is J. Cole’s first single from his upcoming sophomore album “Born Sinner,” which will hopefully be out this summer.
