North Carolinian emcee J. Cole may be the latest hip-hop hitmaker to find his album prematurely leaking online, but he’s taking it all in stride. Most recently speaking with VIBE, the Roc Nation rapper, whose debut album ‘Cole World: A Sideline Story’ is due in stores September 27th, is quoted saying:
“There’s been worse leaks than that so I understand it’s a part of the game, I always understood that. As long as people hear it together, it’s cool. It’s kind of like promotion these days—if you got a good album. If you don’t have a good album—they’ll just trash you.”
In the brief interview with the Urban publication, the rapper also touched on pre-album release jitters and hinted on what fans could expect from the leaked LP. Hear this and more after the jump:
