J. Cole Drops The Unexpected “Truly Yours” EP To The Delight Of Pretty Much Everybody (Listen) Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/12/13 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, J. Cole

When an artist, especially one with actual talent, drops a project out of nowhere it usually creates an immense amount of excitement among fans. So I'm sure J. Cole has a lot of people absolutely ecstatic right now thanks to the the unexpected release of his "Truly Yours" EP. The EP, which serves as somewhat of an appetizer until "Born Sinner" is released, consists of a solid five records from the North Carolina emcee.

Cole tackles the beat from Lauryn Hill's classic record "To Zion" on the EP's introductory track "Can I Holla At Ya" before moving on to the equally candid "Crunch Time." The rest of the project finds the rapper taking part in his signature storytelling and even shedding a few "Tears For ODB."

Enjoy, but before you do, a word from Grown Simba himself:

"It’s time. I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have. 
Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space).

Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.

Truly Yours,
Born Sinner

PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share." - J. Cole
