J. Cole feat. B.o.B - “Pass Me By”

Alright, don't get too hyped now. This is basically another release of J. Cole's "Leave Me Alone", a track that leaked a while ago featuring Kevin Cossom. Here we have a version where B.o.B. is on the chorus instead.. If you ask me this track was suppose to be on Cole's upcoming album, you can tell by the 4 demo tracks that have leaked thus far. Highly doubt it'll be on there now.

Miguel Set To Appear On J.Cole’s Debut Album

An update on J. Cole's album, r&b singer Miguel has recently spoken out about his involvement in Jermaine's upcoming album! Miguel and Cole have collaborated once before on "All I Want Is You". This is probably the first time someone has gone public about J. Cole's upcoming untitled album which remains much of a secret. He was quoted saying that he is featured on one of Cole's songs and that he thinks the fans will like what they hear:

“I’ve been working on something specifically for [J. Cole's album]. He sent me something maybe a month ago. “It sounds exactly like what his fans love him for—storytelling, wit, and just a really smooth flow. As far as what I’ve done to it, it’s really playful. The chorus reminds me of a Passion Pit song. I don’t know why. I haven’t sent it back yet. It’s more melodies than a full voice.”

Dr. Dre's Admiration for J. Cole

Dr. Dre has revealed that J. Cole is one of his favorite rappers in the game right now in the latest issue of XXL magazine. And I agree, the only thing stopping J. Cole right now is one huge record. That's all he needs and his career will sky rocket.

Just recently, actually, I’ve heard some really good artists. I’m a fan of J. Cole. I like Don Trip. Those two I was actually in this studio working with recently, and I really like their vibe. Especially J. Cole. I think that kid has a serious future ahead of him. He’s articulate. The way he speaks is – he’s got it. All he needs is the record now.

How about the veterans? Has it been interesting for you to watch some of your peers succeed along with you like Jay Z?

Oh yeah. I mean Jay is my favorite. I’m a huge Jay -Z fan. I love it. I’m waiting for his record right now. Hopefully, I’ll get a track on it. We’ll see. Yeah I love it. Because it helps keep alive the type of music that I love to do.
