J. Cole is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his third studio LP by releasing the complete double-album version with previously unheard music.
On Monday, December 9, the North Carolina native released the digital version of his 2014 Forest Hills Drive 10-Year Anniversary Edition featuring eight fresh tracks. The 21-track album includes "Home Soon," "Die Together" "Judgement Day" "Winter Wonderland" "Keep Heaven Dancing," "Miles" featuring Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, "Black Man In Hollywood," and "Obviously." Cole made the digital version of the album available via his "Inevitable" website after he sold a limited collection of CD's and Vinyls. Fans who already copped the rapper's 10-episode audio series got exclusive access to the album.
"FHD 10 year anniversary edition with 8 unreleased songs," Cole wrote on X. "Forest Hills Drive was a double album at one point in time during the finishing process. This anniversary edition contains 8 of the songs that were included in that version. Available digitally tomorrow. 12pm eastern http://inevitable.live Thank you for the love. See you at the Garden."
J. Cole shared the unheard music he's been sitting on for a decade just a week before his highly-anticipated anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden. Earlier this month, the Grammy award-winning rapper announced his plans to take over the Garden with a one-night-only performance of his 2014 album. While tickets are on sale now, fans who plan to cop last-minute tickets can do so on the day of the show thanks to Cole's classic "Dollar & A Dream" deal. For those who won't be in New York City for the epic concert, fans who previously purchased Cole's audio series can livestream the concert for free on the "Inevitable" website.
"2014 Forest Hills Drive show at MSG will be live streamed for free on http://inevitable.live only for members of the Inevitable community and Chase Cardholders," Cole's manager Ibrahim "Ib" Hamad wrote on X. "If you bought the audio series, a vinyl, a cd, or the digital album this stream is for you. See yall on 12/16"
