万众瞩目的Roc Nation新星J. Cole处子专辑问世了!专辑名称定为Cole World: The Sideline Story。关于此标题,他是这样解释的:"The reason for the subtitle "The Sideline Story" is because I feel since being signed to Jay-Z it has been like being on the sidelines for your favorite basketball team, and you're just waiting until the coach puts you on.”
这张专辑共18首歌曲,其中两首是专辑附带的Bonus。专辑中也出现了几首收录在他之前3张非常成功的Mixtape里的歌曲,如"Work Out"及与Drake合作的"In The Morning"。其余在专辑中客串的明星有Trey Songz、Missy Elliott及他的老板Jay-Z。
专辑的豪华版在发行当天即登上Itunes专辑榜首位。期待这张专辑带来更多精彩!
