Ever since I heard his tunes over the airwaves I was hooked! Here is Miguel chopping it up with MTV about his collabo with RocNation’s J.Cole on the hit single “All I Want Is You”. I swear this kid is gonna be a problem!


“I remember talking to ['All I Want Is You' producer] Salam [Remi] and him saying, ‘Just be honest,’ ” Miguel said about the song’s lyrics. “I’m excited about it. I didn’t get to be in the studio with J. Cole. I recorded the song, and Mark Pitts at Jive — who happens to be a part of J. Cole’s management as well — I remember the call. It was 3 o’clock in the morning, and Mark called me like, ‘Yo, it’s crazy! I’mma play it for Cole.’ He played it for him, and Cole said he liked it. I’m looking forward to getting on [Cole's] forthcoming album, hopefully. Maybe.”


WE’VE GOT OUR EYE ON THIS DUDE!

Not a player, I just crush a lot…

Check out J.Cole talking to BET Music Matters about working on his debut album and aspirations to be a huge producer and make hits for Wale, Nas, Jay-Z, Beyonce, & Andre 3000. WOW…those are some major names, we’ll see if J.Cole got the skills to make the cut.

“Legacy to me is success…”

Here’s his performance at the 2010 BET Awards before being cut off by the commercial break. It’s all good…right now its all the hype is about Drake, but this time next year J.Cole will take center stage. No rush ’cause legacy=success to J.Cole. I don’t this often but props to BET for finally step up and highlighting music with substance with BET Music Matters. NICE!

COLE- “HIGHER”

J.Cole has definitely been MIA as of late, and I chalked it up to him grinding hard in the lab to release some fire for the summer. Well, it looks like I was right! J. Cole just dropped a new track titled “Higher”–where the Roc Nation MC undoubtedly takes us “higher”.

COLE IS FRESH IN COMPLEX…

“Who Dat, Who Dat”? It’s Roc Nation’s J. Cole in the latest issue of Complex magazine that’s who! Complex snagged the rising star for its June/July 2010 issue which hits newsstands June 8th. I think it’s fresh and it looks really dope. Not to mention, the boy takes some good pics too! But, there a few shots that I’m not feeling. Anywhoo, aside from that; J. Cole is definitely a better version of Drizzy Drake– in that he speaks to a different audience and about relevant sh*t. Do you think J. Cole and Drake are a battle of the classes?! I think so…

Peep the pics from J. Cole’s fashion spread…
