Cole World
It's odd to be proud of someone that you've never met, never spoken a word to, and honestly have never even been same room unless there were tens of thousands of other people there, but I am sincerely proud of Jermaine Cole. The first time I listened to Cole I didn't want to like him! I was a huge Drake fan and this was at a time in which sides we're starting to be chosen and before I could officially say I wasn't a Cole fan I had to give it a listen and that first listen was undeniable and as much as I didn't want to listen in the beginning I had a feeling that Cole would be a staple in my music rotation going forward. The warm up was so refreshing, it was new rap but with that old school lyricism and sharpness in the bars. An early 20's "Young Simba" was hungry and you could tell in the songs, he constantly proclaimed himself as the next big thing in rap music and with every single tireless listen of the warm up I was on board with the idea
