Album Debut Semptember 27th Cole World: The Sideline Story ^ Support me, go out and purchase a copy, love all my fans!

Raised in North Carolina, hometown of Fayetteville provided much of the sights and experiences that came to shape my sound. I fell into rapping at the age of 12 when my cousin from Louisiana spent the summer in Fayetteville, showing me the basics of rhyming. I was instantly hooked. From there I delved deep into the music of hip hop luminaries including Tupac Shakur, Nas and Outkast, taking from them a love for telling stories with an unbridled rigor. Seizing every opportunity to write, at age 15 I found myself with composition notebooks full of rhymes but no beats of my own to lay them on. Determined to create original songs, I begged my mom for a beat machine so I could produce music solely for myself. She granted my wish and from there, I spent all my free time creating sounds and songs that would lay the foundation for what my style has evolved to today. Feeling the need to be heard, I used college as a tool to chase my dreams. I attended St. John’s University on an academic scholarship, choosing that school so that I could be in the heart of the music industry: New York City. After polishing my sound and graduating Magna Cum Laude, I dropped my debut mixtape, properly titled “The Come Up” hosted by DJ On Point. A mash up of dusty, soul filled sound beds, raw, energetic drums and an endless range of topics everything from the carefree days of college to the seemingly endless plight of those have-nots scrapping for change.
