J. Cole – 95 South
“95 South” is the first record off J.cole’s sixth studio album “Off Season”, which generally opens the project. The rendition and delivery of 95 South automatically launch Cole into a refined and properly orchestrated state in the helms of hip-hop as one of the original genre’s most golden creators. He is regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation. 95 South, in the modification, is more of a personal stint for Cole which goes a long way to intensify how he sees himself along the line and unveils that which has to do with his brilliance, writing couplets. TOP PICKS FOR YOU: J.cole takes listeners through the nature of hip-hop from its sonic arrangement and cadence, the acts in the position as the creation go on and every audio activity renders through 95 South, ignite...
These Hip-Hop Songs Prove Rappers Have A Strong Love For ‘The Matrix’ Film Franchise
Source: Ronald Siemoneit / Getty Film and Hip-Hop have a unique relationship being that you can always find a reference to a particular movie in a rap song. One movie in particular that always gets a nod from your favorite rapper is The Matrix. There is no denying how much of a stranglehold The Matrix has on pop culture. It’s made evident due to the film’s many references in other movies, television shows, cartoons, and music, especially in Hip-Hop. Since the movie’s 1999 release, The Matrix, plus its mind-blowing plot, has found its way into the songs of many rappers over the years. With Lana Wachowski’s highly-anticipated 4th film in the franchise, The Matrix: Resurrections, right around the corner, you can bet there will be even more Matrix-related bars popping up in new songs. Until we...

Diddy & J. Cole Connect, Playfully Re-enact Their Infamous Scrap
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Diddy / @diddy Back in 2013, the world took notice of chatter that Diddy and J. Cole got into a bit of a physical kerfuffle at an industry party that thankfully didn’t escalate. Cole, who recently mentioned the moment on a recent track, connected with the original Bad Boy himself with the two playfully reenacting their fight. Diddy posted a photo of the pair presumably on the balcony of a New York City hi-rise building, both decked in summer attire and posing cooly. The following post featured a video of the two hamming it up with the camera, with Diddy putting up his dukes and Cole, taken with laughter, doing the same. It was a lot more serious in 2013 during an after-party for the MTV Video Music Awards. Based on what little information has come forth, ...
J. Cole Rolls In A Yellow Cab For The Visuals To “punchin’ . the . clock”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 J. Cole may be from North Carolina, but the man loves shooting his videos in New York City. After releasing Big Apple based visuals for “a m a r i,” and “applying . pressure,” the man who apparently also has a thing for lowercase letters once again uses the city that never sleeps as a backdrop for his latest clip to “punchin’ . the . clock.” Hanging out of the window of a yellow cab for while he spits his verse, J. Cole continues to keep his fashion style as gritty as his rap steez as he remains one of the few multi-millionaire artists in the game that refrains from splurging on diamonds and jewelry. Props. He’s reluctance to rock ice is probably explained in the cut when Cole spits, “The sh*t pop off, I learned to duck u...

Swizz Beatz Plays Unreleased J. Cole Verse From DMX’s “Bath Salts” [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty 2021 is the year that keeps on giving the world new J. Cole music. Swizz Beatz unveiled a new verse from the MC on the recent edition of Verzuz. As spotted on Complex, things got very interesting during the Swizz Beatz vs. Timbaland rematch over the weekend. While the two iconic producers put on a hell of a show for those in attendance and fans who tuned in online, the Bronx native pulled a rabbit out of his hat to the surprise of everyone watching. Midway during the battle, Swizz Beatz played DMX’s “Bath Salts” but quickly stopped it, saying, “that’s the cute version, I like that version—but let me play this version.” He then went on to play a version with J. Cole, and it is clear the Fayetteville, North Carolina, MC went into t...

Hating or Nah?: BAL Player Feels “It’s Disrespectful” For J. Cole To Be In The League
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty J. Cole living out his hoop dreams isn’t sitting well with everyone. It hasn’t been two weeks since J. Cole made his season debut in the BAL (Basketball Africa League), and while the Hip-Hop community is locked in and wants to see Cole get buckets, there is one player who is not feeling his presence. Terrell Stoglin, who hoops for the AS Salé basketball club in the league and is the only player to drop 40 points in a game, spoke with ESPN about Cole being in the BAL and didn’t mince his words saying Cole’s skills were “average,” at best and that he was taken an opportunity away from players who deserve the BAL look. “I think there’s a negative and a positive [to Cole’s presence],” Stoglin said to ESPN. “The negative part of it is: I th...
