J. Cole

I asked the Universe and she delivered. In a previous post I mentioned some artists that I would have liked to see live. A few days later my concert connector Raine came through. Do you want be my date to J. Cole? My reply, YAAAAAASSSSSSS!

Sometime hubs would get the comparison to J. Cole in looks. I really like his new album KOD, but wet dreamz was that record I couldn't get enough of. Every lyric was that realness about your first time. I appreciated his vulnerability about crushing hard and wanting to seem like a pro. The best part of the song is when the girl turns to him and responds "I ain't never done this before". I love the innocence of J. Cole's honesty. Every first time can relate to that record. 

What I really loved about the show was hearing him speak his truth with the audience. He talked about the universal pain we all experience as human beings. Sometimes when I was looking at his face on the large screen, it seemed like his eyes were connecting with every person in Staples Center. The gift in sharing your pain is connecting to all the people who hear your voice. So thankful my journey led me to his show. If any chance your reading this J. Cole, I'm somewhere around 45 on my way to 100. Thanks for being an artist, it was a beautiful night.
