Album Notes & Community Reviews

J. Cole intentionally moved his sophomore release date to directly compete with Kanye West's 'Yeezus', signaling a bold statement of artistic confidence. Heavily self-produced, the record is a deeply introspective, soul-sampling exploration of temptation, faith, and the pressures of commercial hip-hop success.
