J. Cole is currently putting together his long-awaited Roc Nation debut album.
“Songs that made the cut, I’m like the most secretive person too so this is hard for me,” Cole said in an interview. “I could tell you a song I produced called ‘Won’t Be Long’ made the cut, that’s like a real classy J. Cole song like kinda in the vein of ‘I Get Up,’ you know, over in that world. A No I.D. song that’s probably gonna make it is called ‘Never Told.’ It’s like one of my favorite songs, I didn’t know if it was going to make the album though because it’s one of those ones where it’s like, ‘I don’t know if I want to say what I’m saying on this song on the first album,’ but it was so good and so different than everything else on the album that I was like I gotta have it. This song I got called ‘Wet Dreams’ is gonna make it and that’s a real classic J. Cole song in the same sense too. It’s like a real crazy story but I think a lot of people out there can relate to it. Those are a few songs that made the cut.” (Soul Culture)
