I've Always Been An Underdog. I Feel

I Worked In Ad Sales. I Would Call Up Local Businesses And Try To Get Them To Buy Ads In The Paper. The Whole Time, I Felt Like I Was Just Scamming People.

I Do Put A Lot Of God In My Music, But Not Because I'm Super Religious. There Are A Lot Of Demons In My Music, Too. I Acknowledge Both.

It's Not Necessarily A Church Theme And It's Not Really About Church. I Like My Album Themes To Be Metaphors Because It Gives Me The Freedom To Speak About Something Else That's Going On In My Life, So The Born Sinner Thing Is Not About Church, It's Not Even About Religion. It's Using That As Canvas To Get Other Messages Across And That's What The Album Will Be.

If I'm A Character, It's A Biographical Movie. My Character Is As Close To Me As Possible. As Close To Being Myself As Possible. So My Character, J. Cole, Is Very Close To Jermaine Cole.

Anything's Possible, You Gotta Dream Like You Never Seen Obstacles.
