![[EXCLUSIVE] J. Cole Says Rihanna Works Hard, Eyes Feature From Cee-Lo on Debut](https://singersroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jcole07082011.jpg)
Since his feature appearance on Miguel’s hit single “All I Want Is You,” J. Cole has continued to create a buzz for himself, with the latest of being the opening act for Rihanna’s “LOUD” tour.
Though the Roc Nation rapper hasn’t had the chance to really sit down and get any learning tips from the singer, J. Cole sees RiRi’s hardworking ethics to be motivational.
“I observe from afar how hard she works. She works hard,” J. Cole tells Singersroom. “I watch her set [on the tour] a lot. She has a very long show; I’m sure it’s tiring. I know after she gets off the stage, she does meet-and-greets and whatever. She’s a hard worker. I see that.”
Another busy artist that has caught J. Cole’s attention is Cee-Lo Green, who was also an opening act for the tour before dropping out due to his own hectic schedule. However, Cole is still holding onto hope in getting a feature from the “F— You” singer for his debut album.
“Well, I’m still waiting on Cee-Lo right now. He’s so busy; I can’t really blame him,” J. Cole reveals. “But I really want Cee-Lo on this record. It’s a huge record.”
The rapper also explains that his debut project will “sound like growth, like evolution” and will be even better than his previous mixtapes. He goes on to describe it as not being “the normal rap that’s going on right now, but it’s still very, very good,” and will include “storytelling, emotions, and the [money] stunting” tracks as well.
As for what J. Cole has planned for after the album release, fans can expect to see the “Who Dat” rapper touring for the entire next year.
“I plan to be touring for the next entire year. I plan on getting a solid week off for the next whole year,” he says. “After the album drops, we’re going to Europe. Of course we’re gonna tour the states and Canada [too]. I already have the whole blueprint for the year after the album drops.”
But his main focus now? Promoting his debut album ‘Cole World: The Sideline Story’. “The summertime will really be the time where I shine. Now that I have the date, I can really go in marketing-wise and promotion-wise, and I’m excited. September 27th! September 27th!” J. Cole declares.
R&B superstar J. Cole has been making headlines lately with his upcoming debut album, and he recently gave an exclusive interview in which he revealed some exciting new details about the project. The acclaimed artist opened up about who he’d like to collaborate with on the record, as well as what fans can expect from it. In addition, Cole expressed admiration for fellow musician Rihanna and her work ethic. Read on to learn all of the juicy details!
The first thing that stands out is J. Cole’s interest in teaming up with Cee-Lo Green on his debut album. He spoke highly of the Grammy award winner and discussed how excited he would be to have him featured on a track. “Cee-lo is one of my favorite artists so if I could get him involved somehow that would be amazing,” said Cole.
Cole also had nothing but praise for pop star Rihanna, noting her incredible dedication to perfecting her craft. “She works hard and puts out great music every time,” he remarked when asked about potential collaborations with other female singers. It’s clear by his words alone just how much respect this young man has for his peers. Now let’s wait and see what kind of magic these two musical powerhouses create together!
J. Cole’s Praise For Rihanna
Rapper J. Cole recently expressed his admiration for Rihanna’s work ethic and acknowledged her success in the music industry. He stated that she is an inspiration to many, saying “She’s been able to build something so powerful and it just shows how hard she works at it”.
J. Cole also revealed he was looking into working with Cee-Lo Green on a feature for his upcoming debut album. The collaboration would be a great opportunity for him to collaborate with someone who has already achieved a level of commercial success like Cee-Lo has. While speaking about the potential project, J.Cole said “I’m definitely trying to get [Cee-lo] on my album […] I think it’d be amazing if we could make something happen.”
It’s clear that J. Cole holds both Rihanna and Cee-Lo in high regard, recognizing their dedication and artistry as musicians. It will be exciting to see what kind of collaborations come from these two talented artists in the future!
Potential Collaboration With Cee-Lo
As J. Cole continues to rise in the music industry, he has taken note of other successful artists and their paths to success – one being Cee-Lo Green. With that said, it’s no surprise that J.Cole is eager to collaborate with him on his upcoming debut album. It would certainly be an exciting experience for both artists to work together and potentially create something special.
While a collaboration between these two may seem like a match made in heaven, there are still some obstacles that need to be overcome before anything can materialize. For one thing, getting two busy schedules to align could prove difficult as both musicians have multiple projects going on at any given time. Additionally, the two will likely want their creative visions for the project to line up as well; ultimately they have to agree on what kind of track they’re looking to produce together.
Despite potential difficulties though, if this collaboration does come into fruition it’ll surely bring us something amazing! We’ll just have to wait and see if J.Cole and Cee-lo can make magic happen by joining forces musically.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I have to say that J. Cole is one of the few artists out there who truly appreciates Rihanna’s hard work and dedication to her craft. He has a great respect for her talent and clearly sees why she’s achieved such success in the industry. It would be really cool to see these two collaborate on something together down the road, especially with Cee-Lo potentially being involved as well. That would certainly make for an interesting dynamic between the three artists.
I’m looking forward to hearing more from J.Cole about his upcoming debut album and what collaborations he may include in it. As someone who’s already had some pretty impressive features himself, I’m sure we can expect some stellar collabs on this record! Whatever happens, though, I know it’ll be exciting to hear new music from him soon – and hopefully a collaboration featuring both Rihanna and Cee-Lo will come along too!
