J. Cole Says That He Used To Be “Insecure” About Performing Certain Songs

While we plan on embarking on a very harsh and cold winter, J.Cole has plans of instilling a dose of Cole into our lives this coming December. With his third album 2014 Forest Hills Drive slated for a Dec. 9 release, J.Cole is pulling out all the stops to make this a very interesting roll-out for his new project. This summer, Cole went on tour to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his classic mixtape, The Warm Up. During that time, Fader caught up with the Carolina spitta and filmed him going through his everyday cycle while on tour. Cole revealed that there was a point in time where he was insecure about performing certain cuts.

"Some of these songs I've never performed up until this tour," said Cole. "There was a time when I was super insecure about doing these songs because nobody knew them outside of the internet. It's just funny to come back now five years later and realize that that all meant nothing. These shows always remind me every night they be like, "Oh shit. They [the fans] get it." Like they were living by this and they still do."
