We wouldn't blame any rapper for changing their album's release date after the weekend that Kanye just pulled off. But J. Cole, whose sophomore LP Born Sinner is also slated for June 18 release, isn't going anywhere. According to a source close to the Roc Nation signee,

"J. Cole is really confident about this album. He worked so intensely in the studio, produced the whole thing, was really laser focused. He is more confident than ever and isn't afraid to come out on the same day as Kanye. In fact, he's embracing it. He wants to be in the mix."

Mark your calendars boys and girls. June 18 is going to be one hell of a day.
