On Thursday, October 20, 2011, fans of all ages, races, and gender flocked to the Baltimore Soundstage in downtown Baltimore, Maryland to catch a mere glimpse of the latest up and coming star to the hip hop world. That star goes by the name of J Cole
To some, J Cole is a fairly new name to the rap game; collaborating with artists such as Miguel, Drake, and most recently Beyonce among others, in addition to releasing his stellar number one debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story back in September. However, his most sincere fans have been following his rhymes since his first of three mixtapes was released back in 2007. Nonetheless, four years later everyone knows his name and the shows are sold out; this night is no exception.
