The 26-years-old American rapper J. Cole released his debut album "Cole World The Sideline Story" on 27th September 2011. The album took two years to record under label headed by Jay-Z (Jay-Z gave to J. Cole as much time as he needed) and the final result is really great.
"Cole World The Sideline Story" followed three successful mixtapes. Production of "Cole World The Sideline Story" was made mainly by J. Cole himself. Rapper J. Cole has got less attention than the Young Money Entertainment members (Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, T-Pain, etc.).
The whole album structure is balanced by romantic raps, largely relaxed production and a few bangers. "Cole World The Sideline Story" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 218,000 units sold in the first week.
Lyrically there is song about uncertain love ("Nobody's Perfect" featuring Missy Elliott) and unplanned pregnancy ("Lost Ones"). J. Cole sings about highs and lows, dreams and reality in song "Dollar and a Dream III". Song "Breakdown" covers a deeply personal topic of his mother's battle with drugs and his relationship with his father. Listening to this album definitely isn't a wasting of your time.
