Wet Dreamz is one of my proffered tracks on the album, the personal story recounts in detail the first time Cole had sex. You can tell that this album means a lot to Cole, the Jay-Z protégé is determined to make music that matters to him and whilst at times the album fails to make a lasting impression you can’t deny the mans passion.Īfter a placid and soulful intro we are thrown into the albums opening track January 28th, the date represents Cole’s birthday while the song sees the rapper compare himself to the likes of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J (slow down Cole! Lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet). The name of the album is the name of the street that Cole lived on growing up as a kid whilst the album cover depicts the rapper sitting on the roof of that same house, similar to Eminem’s album cover for The Marshall Mathers LP which saw him sitting on the front steps of his childhood home. Cole and possibly his most meaningful work to date. I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a hip hop album with not even one feature, it’s a gutsy move from the North Carolina rapper, a move that definitely deserves some props although it doesn’t entirely pay off.Ģ014 Forest Hills Drive is the third studio album from J. All 13 tracks on the album are performed solely by Cole and not only that the young artist has also provided majority of the production for the album with only a little bit of help coming from outside camps. Cole has done for his latest offering 2014 Forest Hills Drive. In this day and age its incredibly rare to see a hip hop album with absolutely no features what so ever however that is exactly what J.
