  • Episode 7: J Cole's Off-Season
    May 31 2021

    Did a poll a while ago and learned that there are a lot of people that prefer their podcast episodes to be longer than 30 min. So, I took a chance and did a much longer than normal episode. Lucky for me, my favorite artist just so happened to release an album recently and a friend requested I talk about it. This episode with be a song by song, lyrical and musical breakdown of the entire Off-Season album by J Cole. I share some of my favorite bars and ideas from the album and hopefully help all you none hip-hop fans develop even a small respect for what a true hip-hop ARTIST can do with his music. Enjoy!
