J. Cole has at last shared what he refers to as his “top project” on various streaming platforms.
After releasing his early mixtapes The Come Up and The Warm Up, Cole has now made the well-liked Friday Night Lights available on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music for the first time.
Sharing on Instagram, the North Carolina resident declared: “This is a significant occasion for me.” I’ve been eagerly anticipating this day, just like many of you.
I want to express my gratitude to all those who supported these projects and kept them alive, even when they were not available on streaming platforms, especially this specific project. Friday Night Lights can now be accessed on all platforms.
He continued: “To truly understand the impact this has on me, you would need to be aware of the entire journey.” Is this series we are working on unavoidable?
The album with 19 songs was first shared for no cost in November 2010 and features Drake, Wale, and fellow Dreamville artist Omen.
J. Cole recently admitted that he views Friday Night Lights as his “top project.”
During his appearance on Lil Yachty’s podcast A Safe Place, he mentioned that his best project is probably tied with Friday Night Lights and The Come Up, his debut. I’m not sure if people are aware of that stuff. However, I have recently gone back and listened to it, and it’s insane. However, that is closer to a genuine mixtape.
Lately, Cole fans have been delighted with a lot of new music releases in his Inevitable audio series. The series follows his career journey along with his longtime manager Ib Hamad and frequent collaborator Scott Lazer.
Recently, he revealed two songs he collaborated on with Kendrick Lamar in 2010 that were never officially released.
The episode featured Cole explaining the story behind the partnerships, known as “Temptation” and “Shock the World.”
He mentioned that when he was in Los Angeles, Kendrick visited No ID’s studio and they connected. I let him listen to the beat for ‘HiiiPoWeR,’ ‘Temptation’ with my verse, and a few other tracks with only one verse.
“When I let him listen to them, I said, ‘Dude, you’re welcome to have these.'” I recall he mentioned, and it stayed in my mind because no one had ever spoken to me like that before, he was staring at me as if to say, ‘Are you certain you want to hand these over to me?!’
I said, “Sure, feel free to take them.” He said, ‘Dude, you underestimating yourself.’ It hit me because it was the honest reality of my situation at that moment. I was so determined to achieve this unique successful track for my album that I overlooked the things I did well.
In that specific instance, Cole performed two songs with Pharrell that had never been heard before. These tracks were originally planned for his first album, Cole World: The Sideline Story.
