He realizes his wrongdoings and works to fix them, and by the end, is the Cole that society recognizes as one of the greatest rappers of this day. The basis of the album is a narrative - a young boy who fantasizes being a rapper, becomes said rapper, and gets caught up in the pleasures of the life. ![]() HipHopScotch says that the production of this album is spot-on, calling it “very piano and soul sample heavy with a small jazz influence found throughout”.
