Jermaine Cole also known as J. Cole added his fourth effort with his highly anticipated album released on December 9, 2016. His latest projects comes two years after his highly respected Forest Hills Drive which was the first hip-hop album with no features to achieve platinum status since 1990. 4 Your Eyez Only is projected to be Cole’s highest rated album as far as sales goes. Cole is projected to sell half a million copies in it's first week release making his new creation achieve gold status by the RIAA.

With the new release, Cole gets deeper than usual. Jermaine has always been one of the few rappers in the game to push the status quo. On the new masterpiece Cole does just that but he tests the water in newer ways that very few rappers in today’s age will. He goes above and beyond on Eyez with his heart touching tracks that add more personal feeling on this album. Cole touches on an array of subjects from growing up without an father, police brutality, and treating women better overall .

It seems that Cole will make it to the #1 spot again and which he will soon join great company with DMX and Drake as the only rap artists to see their first four studio albums reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Cole stretches for perfection on this album after a long 2 year break. The fans couldn’t wait to get on apple music to hear the album. Cole has stated that this album was influenced by the death of a friend who left a daughter behind. He made sure the story was told from a very high prospective. J. Cole took his time to make his craft the best he could and share the story with the world that others couldn’t see.
