And of course to my BROTHER in this shit. This whole business is a grey blur. Thanks for keeping it black and white with me always (lightskin pun intended). Enjoy your day and congrats on everything this year. @realcoleworld

Cole’s “January 28” song has also turned into a trending song this week.

Thanks to a well-titled track, J. Cole scores a pretty rare gift: Spending his birthday atop the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140. “January 28th,” the rapper’s chart-topping track, takes listeners on a journey as Cole recounts his youth and subsequent explosion onto the rap scene. (Billboard)
