Recently I heard the album Born Sinner by J. Cole. I had heard J. Cole's earlier songs, when he first came up. I didn't think he was all that good, most of his songs were "radio songs." Although, a friend showed me this newer album, and I was completely surprised. I feel like he was holding back all this time, and simply trying to get a spot in mainstream hip-hop. Nearly all the songs on that album were really good, and it went really well for him, because it got him more fame than before. You rarely hear any rappers come up to the mainstream with good songs instead of radio songs.
