J. Cole is on a roll, much to the delight of his fans. He’s been unleashing his old mixtapes onto streaming platforms. The latest to join the ranks is his 2009 mixtape, ‘The Warm Up.’ Why is this exciting? It’s because it follows hot on the heels of him uploading his debut, ‘The Come Up.’
Ibrahim ‘Ib’ Hamad, J. Cole’s manager, couldn’t hide his excitement. On X, he celebrated, “The Warm Up out now everywhere. Took us 15 years but I’m so happy we’re able to get this up. This project is very special to me… legit changed niggaz lives forever.” The project really did put Cole on the map and shifted people’s lives.
This release of ‘The Warm Up’ isn’t just a coincidence. It’s tied to the new episode of ‘Inevitable,’ Cole’s audio series. The series digs into music rollouts, and the latest episode shines a spotlight on this classic mixtape.
Fans didn’t have to wait long between treats, as ‘The Come Up’ hit digital shelves just a few days earlier, alongside the first episode of ‘Inevitable.’ Cole was all smiles on Instagram, sharing the cover art, “The beginning. The Come Up finally available now on DSP’s.”
Hamad was equally nostalgic, saying, “17 years later. Better late than never. My brother @realcoleworld The Come Up out now on all DSP.” It’s bittersweet for them, remembering the humble beginnings and looking at where they are now, with classics like “School Daze” and “Simba.”
The series, ‘Inevitable’, is a 10-part audio diary co-hosted by Cole, Hamad, and Scott Lazer. It takes listeners on a trip through Cole’s life. Season 1 showcases Cole’s rise from a hopeful young artist to a fulfilled rapper living his dreams.
J. Cole faithfully brings his cherished hits to streaming platforms, allowing fans old and new to enjoy the music all over again.
