German born but Fayetteville raised Jermaine Cole has seen his star rise from street rapper cum-University Grad to Jay Z prodigy and Roc Nation flag bearer.
His 1st mixtape, the Come Up came up rough around the edges but still showing glipses of the potential we now see. His sophomore mixtape effort, the Warm up, peaked the interest of A&R folk across America in particular the interest and finally a deal from Jay.
Since then the kid has been prepping for his debut LP, dropping hot fire tracks, freestyles and snippets like a trail of sweets leading us to what is in my opinion going to be one of the Hip Hop albums of the year.
Here are some of my favourites
