J. Cole treated fans to a weekend concert fit for any budget. The “Dollar and a Dream” show hit Roseland Ballroom in New York City Saturday night, with tickets costing only a buck.
Cole lit up the stage with rookie energy, but fans cheered him on like he’s already a veteran.
As he performed tracks spanning The Warm Up to The Sideline Story, the crowd recited his lyrics right back at him. During his encore, he gave a shout out to everything fans threw up, from St. John’s sweaters to Yankee fitteds. He threw up the Roc-A-Fella Records/Roc Nation sign before the lights went down, causing a sea of diamonds in the audience.
Hip Hop’s freshman and fans alike are clearly celebrating the release of his first album, The Sideline Story, in stores Tuesday.
