J.Cole has always been known for his love songs and R&B appeal. Missy Elliot appeared on his Cold World album for the hit "Nobody's Perfect," Miguel is featured on "Power Trip," and the Roc Nation emcee just announced that TLC will also appear on Born Sinner.
"I got TLC on the album, T-Boz and Chilli," Cole said of Born Sinner during an interview with London's BBC 1Xtra. While TLC is still alive in hearts, since LeftEyes untimely death, the group has only released one album, so getting Chilli and T-Boz to sign on was a challenge.
"That's management right there, shout out to Bystorm, they made that happen. The same thing with Missy Elliott, sometimes you need management to pull those favors, to make those calls," Cole explained to Fuse on Thursday. "They got me in touch, they loved the song, they loved the music.

J. Cole is doing everything right to draw attention to his sophomore album Born Sinner. A few days after announcing that he would push his album release date up to June 18th, to compete with Grammy Award winning rapper Kanye West.
With Born Sinner's release less than a month away fans will have more chances to catch J.Cole perform live May 28 with Hip-hop journalist Elliot Wilson at The Highline Ballroom in New York City and on Sunday, June 2 at Hot 97's Summer Jam XX. J.Cole's told MTV News last year that he would focus on better marketing tactics with his second album, and thus far he has kept his word. He dropped two "Born Sinner" documentaries along with a few new tracks earlier in May, and on Monday he released two Born Sinner album covers. Who do you think will win the battle between J.Cole and Yezzy on June 18th?
