J. Cole x DJBooth.net Interview [Listen/Download]

DJBooth.net sits down with top newcomer J. Cole to talk about a variety of subjects in this exclusive interview. Check it out after the jump.

DJ Booth: Does [rapping and producing] turn you into the ultimate perfectionist?

J. Cole: Yes, it does, it definitely does. But, like I said, I’ve gotten to the point where I’m trying to get out of that. Like, for instance, I got in the studio with No I.D., that’s who I’ve been in the studio with. I’m breakin’ out of that mold of just hoverin’ over my sh*t and just huggin’ it so hard and sayin, “No! Nobody else!” Cause his sound is the perfect sound. Like, I’ve finally found someone I can learn from, and [his] sound matches my sound. So it’s a perfect setup, and the joints we’ve been doing have been absolutely incredible.
