Video: My Favorite Verse: J. Cole
Last month in New York, SoulCulture.co.uk met Roc Nation-signed emcee J. Cole and asked him, “Of all the lyrics you’ve written… What’s your favorite verse?”
Speaking from the heights of the Roc Nation HQ, the lyricist explains his choice and drops an impromptu recital of his selected verse which comes from “The Badness” ft. Omen, which featured on [his immensely dope free mixtape] The Warm Up earlier this year.
