J. Cole Day!
J.
Cole returned to hometown, Fayetteville, North Carolina for the launch of his
Dreamville Weekend festival. The focus
of the festival, scheduled to run from 1 March to 3 March, is “to give kids experiences
they might not otherwise get, like going to a real record studio or to the
zoo.” The Grammy award nominated rapper
released the song “Visionz of Home” on March 1st, to commemorate the
occasion. He stopped through at a few
local schools including his own alma mater Terry Sanford High School and
encouraged the students to chase their dreams and go to college. I have to say that I am very impressed with
the platform Mr. Jermaine Lamarr Cole is standing on. We need more young brothers and sisters to
encourage and empower our youth. Be an
example! Not just as a successful
rapper/singer but as an individual and doing whatever moves your soul in a
positive way. Cumberland County
Commissioner Charles Evans was also impressed with the Roc Nation lyricist. So
much so, that he proclaimed March 1st as ‘J.Cole Day’. I’m adding it to my calendar, J! Anyone doing something positive and uplifting
for the community deserves a day of celebration!
