Yesterday, J. Cole released his highly anticipated collaboration with TLC, "Crooked Smile". Now, in an interview with Fuse, Cole explains the inspiration behind the record, saying, "I understand that I don't have the Colgate. I didn't have braces, and they definitely remind you, when you become somewhat known, they definitely make it a point to remind you about your flaws." He later adds, "It's giving people power to embrace they own flaws...and TLC is on it. How incredible is that?" Co-sign!
