When did you first discover J. Cole?

Hey y’all!

This is my first time posting on here, so I hope I’m welcomed with kindness lol! I was watching the ‘All I Want is You’ video and started reminiscing on how I’d first discovered Cole. I was like 13 when I first heard him and Miguel on the tv, and I was so excited because I saw someone with a similarity to me. Shortly after, I heard ‘Who Dat’ and downloaded all of his mixtapes offline. My favorite mixtapes were The Warm Up, Truly Yours, and Friday Night Lights.

When did you first hear Cole and what’s your favorite mixtape of his (can include favorite songs from the tapes)?
