J. Cole Does Some Soul Searching On “Miss America” [NEW MUSIC]

North Carolina rapper/producer J. Cole is back with a new single off his second album. Titled “Miss America,” the song finds Jermaine Cole getting more introspective than he’s been on previous records. The Roc Nation signee asks himself is he about the superficiality or substance. His internal tug-o-war is exemplified with lines like, “Am I about dollars or about change? Am I about knowledge or about brains?”
