A FEW ARTISTS I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT ARE J COLE, DRAKE, AND ADELE. J COLE HAS DROPPED SEVERAL MIXTAPES, BUT I AM PATIENTLY WAITING FOR AN ALBUM TO COME OUT! HE IS A VERY TALENTED ARTIST SIGNED BY JAY-Z'S LABEL ROC NATION. I HOPE HE KEEPS HIS "EDGE" WHEN HIS ALBUM COMES OUT AND THEY DON'T MAKE HIM TOO "COMMERCIAL" TO FIT IN WITH A LOT OF THE CURRENT ARTISTS THAT ARE POLLUTING THE AIRWAVES. I THINK HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE GREATS, BUT WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.
THE NEXT ARTIST IS DRAKE. HE HAS AN ALBUM OUT ALREADY CALLED "THANK ME LATER." I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUALITY ALBUM. DRAKE IS A DOPE LYRICIST, WITH A LOT OF WITTY PUNCHLINES. DRAKE IS ALSO VERY VERSATILE WITH HIS ABILITY TO SING AS WELL. I PREFER TO HEAR HIM RAP, BUT I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE IS ABLE TO SWITCH IT UP. HIS NEWEST ALBUM CALLED "TAKE CARE" IS DUE LATER THIS YEAR AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW MUCH GROWTH IS SHOWN BETWEEN ALBUMS. A COUPLE OF NEW SONGS I HEARD FROM HIM RECENTLY AND I LIKE THEM BOTH ARE "MARVIN'S ROOM," AND "DREAMS MONEY CAN BUY." I SWAY BACK AND FORTH ABOUT WHO I LIKE BETTER BETWEEN HIM AND J COLE.
LAST ARTIST I'LL DISCUSS IS ADELE. I AM LATE GETTING INTO ADELE'S MUSIC BUT SHE IS QUICKLY BECOMING ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS REGARDLESS OF GENRE. HER ALBUM ENTITLED "19" IS A CLASSIC ALBUM. I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL THE WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO SKIP. HER ALBUM "21" IS ALSO SOLID, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE. MY FAVORITE SONGS FROM HER ARE "MELT MY HEART TO STONE," "DAY DREAMER," AND "ROLLING IN THE DEEP." WITH THIS FAST START TO HER CAREER, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT ELSE SHE DOES!!!

I agree with you about the piece on Adele. Her music is soothing and her voice is memorable. If she put out a million songs with the same sound, it would never get old to me. Her album "19" is definitely a classic. Great piece!
Can't believe Drake is as hot as he is - I remember him from Degrassi! Never heard J Cole but I'll check him out on your recommendation.
Can't seem to get into Drake, but I agree he's got skills. J Cole has this track called "Cheer up" thats pretty fresh. Then again, he has another one I can't remember the name of that's just horrible. If you hear anything new commercial tracks from him, thats the one. Not up on Adele, but I will def check her out now.
I really don't get into Drake & J Cole - I think I'm too old for it or I just can't get into it... But I LOVE Adele. She has a great sound, another great track to listen to is her remake of "To Make You Feel My love".
J. Cole is nice. With that said....
J Cole's first mistake maybe signing with HOV. He is in the same draft class as Wale, Wiz and BOB. All of which are doing better than he is right now. Cole is better lyrically than All the previous artists mentioned. He may need
1. A well known producer that isn't himself.
2. A well known feature (that goes without saying who).
Drake needs do more rapping less singing
I want J cole to win but I dont know if he can. Something is missing not sure what.
Adele I need to check for her. I havent heard any song
J COLE
Great artist, he just has to keep his focus. Don't try and crossover to anything or anyone, let it crossover to you.
I def lik DRAKE but he starts to sound the same on a lot of tracks...he has bars for days though. That being said, I prefer J COLE because his delivery is stronger.
ADELE is real cool. Love her music. Nice to hear an artist like this, so young, so talented, and will only get better. You're on point with her albums as well bruh.
Last but not lease DOX DIGGLA aka PARADOX. Been listening to him for a while as well. Glad to know I can download the latest music with one click to download. As an artist myself gotta rep for another Jerzee artist!!
DS LEV keep doing your thing bruh!!!
First of all great blog. Secondly I love Drake but I'm enjoying J. Cole as well. I need to hear more songs by Adele but I heard she was dope. I feel like the BET Awards were a mess this year. It was like they had absolutely no planning or any rehearsal. I want them to do better for next year.
I absolutely love Adele's music. The sultry sound of her voice reminds me that good music still exist.
Drake... I'm tired of. He has the same sound over and over, plus what people call singing needs to stop. He'd have my attention much more if he just stuck to his flows and stop with the commercial crap. When I first heard of him on the music scene I thought "this kid is nice" but now.... ANNOYING (Get your hunger back)
J-Cole has a lot of promise. as long as he stays out of the commercial trap he will out shine Drake and any other crossover artist.
Adele, I haven't heard yet but based on what I've read this morning, Im ready to get both her albums
As for DOX DIGGLA... all I can say is JERSEY!!!!
