Hip-Hop titan J.Cole looks set to live up to that billing on next week’s Billboard 200.
Today brought with it the release of the MC’s fourth studio album. And while the set is titled ‘4 Your Eyez Only,’ it appears it’s for everyone’s CD collection – based on the numbers who’ve rushed to retail to purchase the LP.
Full story below…
According to Hits Daily Double, initial sales of the project have Cole on-course to open with a first week US figure between 400,000-500,000.
No word yet on the ratio of sales to streams, but HDD assert that purchases make up a significant portion of the sizeable pie.
Beyond being a major feat in today’s sales-starved climate, it’ll serve a huge look for the rapper given that fans only had one week’s notice of the album’s arrival.
