Tag Of The Day! J Cole ‘Who Dat?’
25 year old rapper J Cole has probably had the best start to a rap career possible. He gained an almighty seal of approval from urban music kingpin Jay-Z when he became the first artist to sign to Roc Nation – Jay Z’s new record company founded after his split from Def Jam. His debut single has since been rocking the world of anyone who even has a passing interest in hip hop. Featuring a rapid fire lyrical style and some sturdy un-autotuned beats, J Cole is helping bring back authentic rap to the mainstream alongside new artists such as Wale and Drake.
The video for ‘Who Dat?’ is quite literally blowing up as it features a troupe of hood kids, a marching band and a series of expensive looking action-movie-esque explosions. The track also features a sample from Outkast’s classic slow burning jam ‘SpottieOttieDopalicious’- a much overlooked but none the less classic rap record that you can check below.
J Cole’s debut album is due for a winter release via Roc Nation.
