J. Cole Compares New Ari Lennox Album To An Alicia Keys Classic
J. Cole is praising his Dreamville artist, Ari Lennox, liking her new album, age/sex/location, to a classic Alicia Keys classic LP.
In a Tweet made on Friday (September 9), the North Carolina rapper made the comparison to Keys’ debut album Songs in A Minor, which she released in 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 236,000 copies in its first week.
“Ari Lennox album phenomenal,” Cole tweeted. “S**t make me feel 14 again like when I heard songs in A minor.”
This is just the latest praise Cole’s given to Ari. Late last month, the Dreamville founder said in an Instagram post that he really “f***s with” the new project “heavy.”
“I asked Ari what this new album means to her,” Cole captioned the screenshot of a text exchange between the two artists. “I needed to know cuz I f**k with it so heavy.
“What I hear is the highs, lows, joys and pains of dating life in 2022,” he continued. “But her answer made it even deeper for me. Appreciate you @arilennox Looking forward to the rest of the world hearing it.”
