J. Cole is one of hip-hop’s biggest stars but we feel he doesn’t get enough shine as a producer. In this new video, Cole breaks down the inspiration, samples and process behind creating his highly-anticipated second album, Born Sinner.

Born Sinner is scheduled for release on June 18th via Roc Nation and Columbia Records. The album features guest spots from Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, TLC and others.
