Selah Sue’s “Raggamuffin” Remix Featuring J.Cole Is Kind Of Amazing (Listen)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 05/18/12 | Filed under J. Cole

I'm not sure how I managed to not come across Belgian singer Selah Sue's intriguingly soulful "Raggamuffin." But I sure am glad that I had the opportunity to check out the remixed version of the song which features J. Cole before it dropped off the radar. J. Cole really seems to fit perfectly on the song.

J. Cole’s “Work Out” Gets A Dope New Sound Thanks To A Young Pianist (Video)

You really can't go wrong with a nice piano cover and this cover of J. Cole's "Work Out" is pretty damn nice. It almost makes you forget about that horrible Paula Abdul inspired hook...almost. Also, I'm glad the pianist didn't break out in song during his cover of "Work Out." You see what happened to Karmin. Karmin who? Exactly. See more...

Abu Dhabi, London, Berlin, Oslo...it'd probably be more difficult to name a city J. Cole didn't feature in his "Sideline Story" video. Well, I guess showing everyone how many global cities you've touched down on in a short period of time is a great way to show the masses you're no longer on the sidelines. See more...

First it was Canibus and now it looks like Diggy Simmons also wants a piece of J. Cole. Yep, it appears that Diggy had a little bit of venting to do over the weekend and it was all aimed towards the North Carolina rapper. But I guess we can give lil' Diggy a "beef pass" since he had a somewhat legitimate reason for his Cole diss and that was to protect his sister Vanessa Simmons' honor. Listen and download...

Canadian singer Melanie Fiona has just released the second rap collab from her upcoming album "The MF Life" and this one features none other than the sideline kid himself, J. Cole.

#FuckLove And MTV, J. Cole Says He Should Have Been On Their “Hottest MC’s” List (Video)

Despite being nominated for a Grammy and being way hotter than artists like Jim Jones and Lloyd Banks, MTV found it in their hearts to leave off North Carolina rapper J.
