"4 Your Eyez Only" Album Review

    In my opinion,  J. Cole is honestly one of the most relatable rappers in the game today. Throughout his career, he has shown he has delivery, wit and bars! His best body of work (in many people's mind) was "2014 Forest Hills Drive." This album went 2x platinum with no features. Knowing that, people began to wonder what his next album was going to sound like. Well, if you're expecting another "2014 Forest Hills Drive," you may want to think again. Cole is a storyteller who always has a song that seems to hit close to home for most of us. Although we may not have partaken (in the activities he speaks of), we usually know someone who has. Just from listening to "4 Your Eyez Only," it sounds like this entire album is a story about a man's life and the important decisions he is forced to make. The delivery of the album, in typical J. Cole fashion, was in the form of a great story. Some people tend to forget about Cole's storytelling abilities and that's exactly why I felt "4 Your Eyez Only" is great. It catches you the same way a way a movie could. Even though songs like False Prophets are not on the album (like we thought it would be), the album is still a great listen and I recommend it to everyone. I am a huge J. Cole fan and I would say if you listen to this album with an open ear, you will love it just as much as I do.
