J. Cole Plots Tour of North America

12:45 p.m. · September 27, 2010 · by Andrew Martin

I know I'm not the only one wondering if this nationwide tour means that J. Cole will continue pushing back the release of his still untitled proper debut album. At the same time, though, it's understandable that he and his management want him to remain in the public eye. And what better way to do that than a two-month (mostly) college tour? That's his primary demographic right now, anyway, so this does make sense in a way. But I just can't shake the feeling that his debut won't hit stores until early next year. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
