HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Puma / PUMA J. Cole’s RS-Dreamer sneaker silhouette must be a huge hit with fans because Puma continues to pump out new versions of Cole’s signature line. Source: Puma / PUMA This time around the RS-Dreamer will be releasing in a “Aquarius” which is obviously a nod to Cole’s zodiac sign as the man’s born day is January 28th. Featuring a cool aqua blue and jet black colorway, the sneakers not only stand out visually, but also boast some pretty cool features that sneaker wearers can appreciate. “The RS-DREAMER features a disruptive cord lacing system for a snug and responsive fit, a ProFoam midsole and RS foam heel for maximum energy return and a full coverage, high-abrasion rubber outsole for increased grip.” Sounds hella comfortable if you ask u...

Diddy & J. Cole Connect, Playfully Re-enact Their Infamous Scrap
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Diddy / @diddy Back in 2013, the world took notice of chatter that Diddy and J. Cole got into a bit of a physical kerfuffle at an industry party that thankfully didn’t escalate. Cole, who recently mentioned the moment on a recent track, connected with the original Bad Boy himself with the two playfully reenacting their fight. Diddy posted a photo of the pair presumably on the balcony of a New York City hi-rise building, both decked in summer attire and posing cooly. The following post featured a video of the two hamming it up with the camera, with Diddy putting up his dukes and Cole, taken with laughter, doing the same. It was a lot more serious in 2013 during an after-party for the MTV Video Music Awards. Based on what little information has come forth, ...
J. Cole Rolls In A Yellow Cab For The Visuals To “punchin’ . the . clock”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 J. Cole may be from North Carolina, but the man loves shooting his videos in New York City. After releasing Big Apple based visuals for “a m a r i,” and “applying . pressure,” the man who apparently also has a thing for lowercase letters once again uses the city that never sleeps as a backdrop for his latest clip to “punchin’ . the . clock.” Hanging out of the window of a yellow cab for while he spits his verse, J. Cole continues to keep his fashion style as gritty as his rap steez as he remains one of the few multi-millionaire artists in the game that refrains from splurging on diamonds and jewelry. Props. He’s reluctance to rock ice is probably explained in the cut when Cole spits, “The sh*t pop off, I learned to duck u...

Swizz Beatz Plays Unreleased J. Cole Verse From DMX’s “Bath Salts” [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty 2021 is the year that keeps on giving the world new J. Cole music. Swizz Beatz unveiled a new verse from the MC on the recent edition of Verzuz. As spotted on Complex, things got very interesting during the Swizz Beatz vs. Timbaland rematch over the weekend. While the two iconic producers put on a hell of a show for those in attendance and fans who tuned in online, the Bronx native pulled a rabbit out of his hat to the surprise of everyone watching. Midway during the battle, Swizz Beatz played DMX’s “Bath Salts” but quickly stopped it, saying, “that’s the cute version, I like that version—but let me play this version.” He then went on to play a version with J. Cole, and it is clear the Fayetteville, North Carolina, MC went into t...

Hating or Nah?: BAL Player Feels “It’s Disrespectful” For J. Cole To Be In The League
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty J. Cole living out his hoop dreams isn’t sitting well with everyone. It hasn’t been two weeks since J. Cole made his season debut in the BAL (Basketball Africa League), and while the Hip-Hop community is locked in and wants to see Cole get buckets, there is one player who is not feeling his presence. Terrell Stoglin, who hoops for the AS Salé basketball club in the league and is the only player to drop 40 points in a game, spoke with ESPN about Cole being in the BAL and didn’t mince his words saying Cole’s skills were “average,” at best and that he was taken an opportunity away from players who deserve the BAL look. “I think there’s a negative and a positive [to Cole’s presence],” Stoglin said to ESPN. “The negative part of it is: I th...

VIDEO: Watch J Cole Freestyle On Amapiano Beats From John Vuli Gate
American Rapper J Cole tries his rap acts on the popular amapiano beats from South Africa inspired by John Vuli Gate’s instrumentals. Surprisingly, the rapper who for all intents and purposes was delving into an unfamiliar territory didn’t do badly at it. As a matter of fact, he flowed with the beat like he created it or was used to it already. The rapper revived his relevance in the music industry from his latest album “The Off Season”. This album had endeared him to more South Africans than ever before. And in the light of that, he was invited to do a freestyle on the Amapiano beat in a radio station in South Africa and then he knocked himself out pretty cool on it. Watch the video below.
