In 2013, if people really care about your music then your album will see the premature light. Artists should be taking it as a compliment. I know it sucks especially after all the hard work that is put into a musical opus. Roc Nation’s J. Cole is no exception.
After a leaked tracklist, live sit-down interview, worldwide listening session, and a in-person listening session in NYC, Born Sinner leaked.
Instead of getting upset, the Fayetteville native uploaded his album on his official page and released it for the world to listen from the comfort of their own home.
Thank you for the love. Rather than acting like the leak didn’t happen, here’s the official album stream for those who haven’t heard it.

Sweet.
No, you don’t have to find the coordinates to listen but I would suggest grabbing your favorite pair of headphones. In case you’ve forgotten, the album features Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, TLC, Fauntleroy and more. Just from listening to the first track, I’m already loving the feel of the album. Listening as I type.
Disclaimer: I’m a big J. Cole fan but I wasn’t that excited for Born Sinner after hearing his debut album. But that’s a whole other story.
