Mike McCray / News N.C. artist makes Blueprint 3 roster
Posted By Mike McCray on Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Previously written about on the Vibes blog, it was revealed that Fayetteville native and Roc Nation artist J. Cole will be featured on Jay-Z's upcoming album, The Blueprint 3.
Jay-Z officially released the track list for the album last night to huge online buzz and Cole finds himself in exclusive hip hop company, joining the likes of Kanye West, Pharrell, Drake, Kid Cudi and Young Jeezy as guests on the album.
Their song, "A Star Is Born," is slated to be track nine on the album, dropping September 11th.
Cole seemed relieved to get the news out last night. "Damn, yall know how hard it was to hold onto that news for so long," he said via his Twitter page.
The announcement has to be exciting for Cole, who just a few years before was working as a telemarketer and anonymously waited outside of Baseline Studios in New York City, in the rain, to try and give Jay-Z a beat for his then upcoming album, American Gangster, and was snubbed.
Below is the official track list for the album and for those who missed the boat the first time around, here's a link to download J. Cole's previous mixtapes, 2007's The Come Up and 2009's The Warm Up.
