Lots of progress towards that (eventual) J. Cole feature this week! Welcome to the second episode of Road to J. Cole Feature. This series is for you if you're trying to make it as a rapper yourself, or if you're just interested in a behind-the-scenes look at my journey as a software-engineer-turned-full-time-rapper. Leave a like if you enjoyed, and let me know what you want to hear more about in this series!
