studio work

J cole 2014 Forest Hill Drive is his latest album he's released. It an album with no features from any artist hence making him the first to get platinum without a feature. In this album, he talks about his time growing up with his family, issues he had, and problems he solved. My favorite song on the album would be the outro note to self. Equally, I like all the song on this album but the reason for this is because of its a big change from how he usually makes his music in term of lyrics, With these, he doesn't rap at all which he is mainly known for. Instead, he sings all the ways through until the part he starts giving out shout outs. also with the chords, his voice goes well with it.

This album Born Sinner was a little later the other one which was released in 2013. This album was more of a self-reflection toward himself. He talked about how he feels,how he stills feels and what he could of then better. In this song, my favorite song would have to be Born Sinner, Reason for this his because of how he made the beat match the mood of the lyrics. He made it sound like a gospel church song with the choir for the chorus. He talks mostly about forgiveness and how being a born sinner means your not perfect. 

j Cole live performance

This performance that  j cole did at new york city also interests me no matter how make I watch it. not only because of the song or the band behind play amazing chords while he rap but also because how he interacts with the audience and gets the to respond in a that make them feel as if the part of the performance as well. one way of him achieving this is him cut one famous part of the verse and letting the audience sing it instead. Another thing J Cole does is move around a lot and show  gestures while performing. This shows how confidence he was that night he was performing. All of these feature are very important when performing to me because I like getting people involved in whaI i do. I would love to some day embed that in my performance and to also show more confidence too.
