10th anniversary edition

J Cole Fulfills Fans Wishes By Making Special Edition Of “2014 Forest Hills Drive” Widely Available… Sort Of

by

J Cole’s fans can finally rejoice! The digital version of the 10th Anniversary Edition of 2014 Forest Hills Drive is now here! Well, it sort of is as there is a little bit of a twist and a price. Yesterday, the beloved North Carolina rapper shared that everyone could now get their hands on the classic via an Instagram post. “FHD 10 year anniversary edition with 8 unreleased songs. Forest Hills Drive was a double album at one point in time during the finishing process. This anniversary edition contains 8 of the songs that were included in that version. Available digitally tomorrow. 12pm eastern www.inevitable.live Thank you for the love.”

To no one’s surprise, everyone was obviously thrilled for this news. “COLE FANS ARE EATING GOOOOOOOD IN 2024,” one fan wrote. “Shoutout to you for doing this bc im depressed that i missed out on the vinyl 🥹🫶🏼” another pens with much thanks. We are sure a lot of Cole supporters were feeling this way up until today. There were cleverly only 2,014 physical copies of both vinyls with their four respective tracks, as well as its CD. They all sold out extremely fast, so this is a nice gesture on the MC’s part.

However, those looking for it on streaming platforms are going to be a little let down. Time will tell if all of the bonus tracks will make it that far. Instead, the 10th Anniversary Edition is available for digital purchase for $10.00 USD on the EVEN platform. Rappers of all kinds have been using this newer site to share some exclusive music, interviews, and etc. J Cole is hopping on the trend now, and it’s got some feeling a little sour.

Reddit users are complaining about how tedious the download process is, as well as the site having technical difficulties when trying to purchase it. Regardless, Cole didn’t have to do this, so it’s certainly a win for those who weren’t on top of physical drop. Besides, all eight of the extra songs are included instead of just four on each alternate version. If you want to buy 2014 FHD in all of its deluxe glory, click the the “[Via]” link below.

J Cole May Bring You To Tears With “2014 Forest Hills Drive” Bonus Track “Die Together”

by

The year didn’t get off to the strongest of starts for J Cole this year. However, the backend is a completely different story. Over these past couple of weeks, he’s been giving his fans some incredible stories through his Inevitable audio platform. They have very detailed accounts of the first few years of his career and the projects he dropped within that span. But what’s more is that he’s officially shared some music and mixtapes that have been coveted for so long. His first three mixtapes are out now on streaming, and so are some leftovers from the 2014 Forest Hills Drive era.

It’s all to commemorate the album’s 10-year anniversary, which will be on December 9. They were available on two exclusive (and now sold out) physical variants of the album which each had 2,014 units available. There are eight in total and four of them are finding their way onto YouTube thanks to customers receiving the blue alternate cover. “Home Soon,” “Die Together,” “Judgment Day,” and “Winter Wonderland” are in the first batch. The second is sticking out to fans and us the most thanks to its possible connection to 4 Your Eyez Only. He appears to rapping from the perspective of his late friend who refers to as James McMillian, Jr. It’s an amazing storytelling piece, and one that most likely inspired that project. Fair warning: this one may make you cry a little.

“Die Together” – J Cole

Quotable Lyrics:

A quarter pounder get a n**** blown to smithereens (F*** you say, n****?)
My mama askеd me, “What that drama ’bout?”, and I don’t lie
I said, “A little bit of monеy and a lotta pride”
I swear to God, I cry when I look in my daughter eye
I’m thinkin’ if I die tonight, I never taught her how to ride a bike
And how to fight if n****s clownin’ on her
