J. Cole
So you have your sophomore album Born Sinner coming out and it needs to outdo your debut. There’s a lot of pressure on you to perform well both critically and commercially now so why not push your album up a week to drop on the same day as Kanye West’s? This is what exactly Jermaine Cole did and with spectacular results. The album went gold, the lead single “Power Trip” went platinum and he even made Nas proud. – Calvin 2.0
