In anticipation of the release of J.Cole‘s sophomore album Born Sinner slowly approaching on June 18, Cole dropped another preview with Niggaz Know.
With plenty of Biggie references and even a Tupac line – the track is real hip hop.
Jermaine spoke to Soul Culture on the theme and direction of his anticipated sophomore release:
“When you listen to the album you’ll notice how it flows from darkness to light, from hell to heaven, depression to happiness, It literally was a way out…I’m writing my way out of a negative place, a darker place.”
Unlike most rap albums, Born Sinner won’t feature guest appearances from any rappers and is rumored to be completely self-produced by Cole.
