Last Call 1:02:26 Artist: J. Cole Album: The Warm Up Album Release Date: June 15, 2009.

Download J. Cole's second official mixtape "The Warm Up" from 2009.

The Warm Up is J Cole’s second mixtape and the leading factor in him being signed to Roc Nation, which significantly is home to Lights Please, the song that convinced Jay-Z to sign him. It is also the first basketball themed projects in his early discography. Cole named the project The Warm Up because he’s practicing even harder than he did in his debut mixtape, The Come Up to make sure that when he tries out for the team again, he’ll be the top pick, as he explained in an interview with Complex: It’s based on this story from when I was in high school and I got cut from the team. Eventually, he arrives at the studio and Cole introduces himself and attempts to give him the CD, but was overlooked by him harshly.

Now imagine if J. Cole was Jonah Hill, and hip-hop was Russell Brand. In an era of auto-tuned tracks and overproduced Top 40 singles, The Warm Up almost seems like the word warm should be replaced by wake. Cole conveys to the rap scene that you can still break it big without forgetting your roots or distilling your message. I've always been a fan of an artist that spills their guts and shows emotion in their tracks. I'd like to think the listener can tell the difference from a genuine and artificial production

The Warm Up is the second official mixtape from Fayetteville, North Carolina rapper J. Cole. J. Cole produced the majority of the mixtape with help from Elite, and Syience. The mixtape has been viewed over 3,100,000 times, streamed over 451,000 times, and downloaded over 550,000 times on DatPiff. Cole was famously signed to Roc Nation after Jay-Z heard the track "Lights Please" before the mixtape was released

On Monday evening, J. Cole announced his fifth studio album, KOD, will drop this Friday. Fittingly, it wasn’t even the biggest hip-hop story of the day since Drake, hours earlier, revealed a June release for his forthcoming album, Scorpion, while, simultaneously, Kendrick was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his album DAMN. Drake, Kendrick, and J. Cole have been hip-hop’s big three throughout the 2010s, but there’s no denying that Cole has always been overshadowed by the Co-Kings
