J.Cole 'Born Sinner' ALBUM REVIEW [LISTEN] [DOWNLOAD]: Down South Rapper With Up North Flow Creates His Own Lane, Can 'Born Sinner' Compete With 'Yeezus?'

J. Cole is a Born Sinner, and as he repents on his sophomore album, the rap God's took note and welcomed the North Carolina MC into the pearly gates. Cole's New York influence is woven throughout the 21-track (Delux Album) soon to be classic hip-hop album, while his southern upbringing peeks out like a suit under a cap and grown.

With one listen to singles like "Power Trip," "Crooked Smile," and "Let Nas Down," it is evident that J. Cole has graduated from Jay-Z's freshman protégé to another level of hip-hop hierarchy. Cole reveals a recessive strand of confidence on Born Sinner, as his storytelling abilities in conjunction with his production skills lifts the skeptical veil surrounding doubt on his delivery and ability to compare to other rappers.

J. Cole's Born Sinner reveals Coles's unique artistry and most importantly it documents the his journey as an artist. As is it were a blessing in disguise, his Born Sinner highlights his growth from Cole World: Sideline Story.

"Villuminati" sets the pace for Born Sinner:

It 's as if J. Cole had an epiphany and discovered the key to expressing himself and gaining the respect he deserves as an artist. He starts his pilgrimage with the dark yet luminous, "Villuminati." Prior to the launch of his "verbal AK," Cole leads with the chorus, featuring a shout to Jay-Z and a sample from the Notorious B.I.G. Cole raps, "Sometimes I brag like HOV," but his arrogant boasts can't be taken out of character, after all as he points out, he is "a young black n*gga with a college degree," undeniable talent, and millions."

Listen to "Forbidden Fruit:"

Cole holds tight to his aggressive and egotistical rhetoric on "Forbidden Fruit," featuring Kendrick Lamar. Cole comes off like a lion, reigning over his kingdom as he raps,

"Slick with words don't hate me, son

What you eat don't make me shit and who you fuck don't make me come

Put a price on my head won't make me run, try to kill me but it can't be done

Cause my words gon' live forever

You put two and two together Cole here forever"

Never skipping a beat, Cole backs up his word play on "Is She Gon Pop." His rare ability to tell multiple stories on one track, while staying true to the main topic is exceptionally displayed when he raps, "Got a full grown woman wanna f*ck my word, wanna ride my nouns, let her suck my verbs..."

While Cole smooths it out on tracks such as "Lands Of Snakes," "She Knows," featuring Amber Coffman, and "Trouble," Cole doesn't allow the melodic tunes, to affect his delivery. While the beats make it easy to dissociate from the lyrics, Cole's infectious flow makes it impossible to ignore his message.

J.Cole successfully produced one of the best rap albums of 2013. The hype surrounding Cole and Kanye West's June 18^th release date battle with Yeezus, almost seems ridiculous as the album comes to a conclusion with
Sparks Will Fly." Cole is finally in his own, exhibiting the potential to walk in Kanye's Air Yeezy II's in the near future.

Born Sinner is available on iTunes now.
