Roc Nation star J. Cole is not slowing down the promotion of his new 2014 Forest Hills Drive and appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night (December 10).
Cole appeared on the CBS broadcast and performed his tribute-driven “Be Free” track.
With 2014 Forest Hills Drive in stores, J. Cole paid a visit to “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Wednesday. But instead of performing a song off his new album, he paid tribute to Mike Brown and Eric Garner with “Be Free,” a song that he released in August. Clad in all black, Cole closed his eyes as he delivered the emotional lyrics, and debuted some new bars. (Rap-Up)
Check out the first-week sales projections right here…
According to the latest projections, Cole’s newest release will easily sell over 300,000 copies.
J. Cole is “Apparently” (to borrow his single title) headed for a boffo bow; he’s due to unseat Taylor Swift for #1 on next week’s chart.

Cole gave his take on the initial sales projections on social media Wednesday (December 10).
I dont believe in their projections. And I dont believe in their reviews. Good or bad. I believe in God, in myself, in the music and in you.
