J. Cole Covers YRB Magazine

J. Cole, who is nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards, appears on the cover for YRB Magazine’s latest issue. In the cover story he touches on his project with Kendrick Lamar.

Another project that he’s keeping quiet on is his joint studio album with Kendrick Lamar, which originated as a mixtape. Though the two haven’t hit the studio since laying down cuts including K. Dot’s “HiiiPoWeR,” Cole spoke with the Compton rapper about flying him out to London to spend a week recording their collaborative LP. “At the end of the day, you’re dealing with two solo artists who are on the move all the time,” he explains. “At some point, you’ve got to connect. I think it will happen.”
