When he came into the game, J. Cole was the first rapper from North Carolina to come out in a long time. Now, he is the leader of a new generation. But, J. Cole was ushered in along with such names as Drake, along with many others.
Among the people J. Cole found chemistry with included Drake and Kendrick Lamar, while friction came with another fellow up-and-comer. Of course, Diggy Simmons does not have the buzz he had last year, but he is from the same class as J. Cole. Last spring, he infamously dissed J. Cole.
While in Atlanta on tour, J. Cole talked to DJ Drama about his tour with Drake and the ongoing feud with Diggy Simmons. During the interview, J. Cole also talked about his work with Kendrick Lamar. Facing off against Kanye West, J. Cole spoke on Jay-Z and him giving permission to go up against Yeezus.
