Roc Nation Artist Also Drops Dreamville Label Compilation, Announces Interscope Partnership
This is sure to go down as one of, if not, thee best birthdays J. Cole‘s ever had. The NC emcee brought in his 29th year of life with a bang by rolling his What Dreams May Come tour into the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
Although it was his day of birth, Cole came to the Garden bearing gifts. When patrons entered the venue they were all greeted by physical copies of Revenge Of The Dreamers, which you can download here, the first official offering from Cole’s Dreamville record label.
The mixtape also came with a handwritten letter detailing Dreamville Record’s partnership with music powerhouse Interscope.
That’s not all Coley Cole had in store for the attendees in NYC. Light-skinned Jermaine proceeded to run through his catalog of hits and in doing so brought out special guest Kendrick Lamar to assist him, to the delight of the crowd.
K. Dot wasn’t the only special guest that stopped by to celebrate with the self-proclaimed Born Sinner however, as the Big Homie Jay Z strolled on stage to commend Cole’s hardwork, perform “PSA”, and finally bless J. Cole with a Roc-A-Fella pendant. Hov made the moment extra special by informing Cole that he was getting Jay’s first, personal Roc chain.
Check out footage of the night above and photos below.
A gift for you from Dreamville. Celebration. Thank you for the Birthday love. Much Love to Interscope — J. Cole (@JColeNC) January 29, 2014
