J. Cole Surprises Bas Fans at New York City Concert

Bas brought his Too High to Riot tour to New York City's Highline Ballroom Wednesday night (July 13) what was the final stop on his 23-city North American trek. The Dreamville rapper has been making the rounds in support of his album by the same name, which was released back in early March, and fans were treated to a special guest and an overall jump in excitement when he brought out none other than J. Cole during his final set.

Check out the hysteria making moment up top as the crowd goes ballistic at the sight of Cole. While there wasn't any additional evidence needed to prove the loyalty of Cole's fanbase, the crowd doesn't miss a single beat as the North Carolina rapper performs his hits "A Tale of 2 Citiez"and "No Role Modelz" each off his 2014 album 2014 Forrest Hills Drive which dropped two years ago this December. It is a testament to the staying power of that project and the way that it connected with fans that Cole continues to use it as his main performance material. Afterward, he and Bas perform "Lit."

In May, Billboard named J. Cole as the highest paid rapper of 2015, citing the $5.5 million he made off of touring, $1.5 million in album sales and $788,000 in streaming revenue. He as well earned $1.1 million in publishing. Following that distinction, Cole saw two tracks from Forest Hills Drive go platinum in a months time, with "No Role Modelz" hitting the million mark in May and "Wet Dreamz" following in June.

What Cole has planned for a following act may not even matter considering the impact FHD continues to have. Watch him send the audience into a tizzy up above.
