Dec 4, 2015 Fayetteville's hometown rap hero J. Cole is bringing his talents to HBO. The network announced Thursday (Dec. 3) that the J. Cole Forest Hills Drive: Homecoming special will air Saturday, Jan. 9 from at 10 p.m. ET. The presentation will include cameos from special guests Jay Z and Drake, as well as the live renditions of the 13 tracks from his third studio effort, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. His biggest offerings from the LP include "Wet Dreamz," "No Role Modelz" and "A Tale of 2 Citiez." The platinum set helped the Dreamville Records founder earn his third consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 350,000 copies in its first week last December. The homecoming affair is described as "part concert film, part backstage pass" and will tell "his compelling life story through Cole’s own words and music, and through the observations of those who know him best," according to the release. Scott Lazer has signed on as director while Cole and Dreamville president Ibrahim Hamad will serve as executive producers. The special will also be available on HBO Now and HBO GO.

Dec 16, 2015 Yo we legit talked bout how it'd be dope if Cole made a video of the making of fhd. Ib is on s80 confirmed and @JimmyBucketsNC is lute. Video is dope tho, How funny is that "I changed... A lot" after he found out he sold 360k
Dec 16, 2015 this is so dope to me... shows you how far he's come. i bet his recording for his debut was completely different.
Dec 16, 2015 The ending of that video was exactly one year ago today. It was kind of crazy that he showed up while most of our student body was gone for break. He stood out there for a long time, signing stuff and he signed my album. Glad my school featured in the video though. Good times.
Dec 16, 2015 That intro and outro is the best of any album. Cole the goat...in my eyes. Just got the chills watching that video. He's special
