Released:

J. Cole has a fussy approach to hip-hop. His lyrics approach stream of consciousness as he shifts from his environment ('A Tale of 2 Citiez') and his rap skills ('Fire Squad') to his relationships with women ('Wet Dreamz,' where he remembers losing his virginity). 'There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours,' he reassures us on 'Love Yourz.' He may croon soulfully but he's no sweetheart, and takes a dim view of 'shallow ladies' on the unfairly cruel 'No Role Modelz.' He wants to return home to North Carolina on 'GOMD'... if only he didn't have difficulty just being.
