J. Cole - Lost Ones
While the expectations set on Cole due to his Roc Nation signing will probably never be met, this dude is a beast on the mic and a refreshing voice in this era of club singles. I haven’t heard a song like this from a new rapper..actually scratch that..any rapper in a long a$$ time. Immortal Technique’s ‘You Never Know’ is the one song that comes to mind that really struck a similar chord. While I hope nothing but commercial success for Cole, I’d be content with him creating songs like this and carving his own lane similar to Technique and Brother Ali.
