Good day fam, today I will be looking at a really talented and great artist. He is really famous and has multiple collaborations with various American artists. Jermaine Cole who was raised in North Carolina is regarded as one of the most influential musicians currently. He sings meaningful and touching music. He gained recognition after the release of his mixtape The Come Up in may 2007. The mixtape contain 21 songs and he writes majority of his songs himself. His lyric touch people's hearts and he speaks truth in his songs. I wasn't that much of a J. Cole fan until he put together the record label called Dreamville. J. Cole signed great and talented artists into the label, the likes of Guapdad 4000, JID, Omen, Lute, Ari Lennox, Earthgang, Elite and Wyldfyet. After listening to Earthgang, I decided to listen to the who dreamville artists and that led to me loving J. Cole and the whole dreamville.
J. Cole has soo many songs both features and singles that if we begin to list them this post won't end so I will be listing my favorites and recommending them to you all for you to give them a good listen for those who might not have heard his music.

To be Honest, I started loving J. Cole from his 2014 Forest Hills Drive album. I love every single jam in that album and I am grateful to him for giving us such beautiful songs. So for my recommendation on songs to listen to I recommend The Off Season, 4 your Eyes Only and the 2014 forest hills drive album. He narrates life experiences in most his songs if not all and you would literally feel the song speak to you if you intend on listening.
I would be looking at some songs he recorded and featured his dreamville family.
There are 2 albums here.
Revenge of the Dreamers II
Revenge of the Dreamers III
The revenge of the dreamers III album is the best here and I will tell you all a little story about this album. It was recorded in a studio in Atlanta Georgia in just 10 days. It has about 30 songs in it and during the recording session there were dozens of artists and producers present (they include Dababy, Ski mask the slump god, T.I, Young Nudy, 6lack, Buddy, TY Dollar Sign etc) and over 142 songs were recorded during these 10 days. So many talented artists including the members of the Dreamville unbelievable isn't it. Every studio room was in use and they were having fun while making the album all these were included and talked about in the 30 mins video documentary they made while dropping the Album. You can go to youtube and view it.
