J. Cole had some encouraging words for Domani Harris during a recent phone call. The burgeoning artist and son of T.I. is currently an opener for Big K.R.I.T. and Rapsody, allowing him the chance to perform material from his most recent project, Time Will Tell, which was released in July.
Cole evidently had to let Harris know he believes the album is “a classic.” Harris’ team caught the conversation on video.
“This project is fucking amazing bro,” Cole said. “You did such a great job on that shit. I really appreciate you sending that to me. I feel like I know you after listening to that. I feel like you delivered a classic. The fans gon’ listen to that shit for decades bro. I really feel you.
“I’m highly impressed. When you played the shit for me in Atlanta, I knew you was talented. I heard it right then and there. To see you do that for a whole project, it’s really impressive bro. Please keep going. Enjoy your project. I’m sure it’s gon’ blow up for you. It’s going to be a slow burner … You did an awesome job.”

Harris shared a screenshot of an article about Cole’s comments to his Instagram Stories but didn’t add any further context.

I’m officially done with this site. You cover such shit. Get some substance you lazy fucks.
Wah wah, they’re not covering my favorite underground rappers that nobody listens to.
Underground Hip Hop is the life blood of rap son. Think about it. At one point- Drake, Migos, Travis Scott, Post Malone, Lil Baby (i.e. your now superstar rappers) were all considered “local” or a part of Rap’s underground. Almost every rapper starts from the bottom, that’s of course unless you have T.I. for a father. These mainstream rappers wouldn’t exist without the underground. The “underground” is where most rappers start from.
He’s been rapping since he was 11. It’s not like he just blew up solely for beings the son of T.I. He actually had to grind and get his talent up, personally I’m glad he ain’t come out at 13 with some Justin bieber “Baby” type vibe ??
This cats hair looks fake asf
When rappers overhype shit like this, you can bet it’s trash
Listened to this album and I’ve dis shit. He stayed in his lane and had something to say besides the mumble rap they forcing down our throats!Hes not a thug ,he not hurting for for money, and not a gang banger so I am a fan st this point. He vacant talk to me again!
This nigga Jermaine wouldn’t even be saying this if this wasn’t T.I.’s kid. Cole only giving dude props because of who his dad is. It’s dope to see how the young nigga stayed with Rap, and it’s no doubt commendable that the kid has obviously made some progress with his music but, this nepotism and industry connections shit is keeping a ton of other dope ass artists from getting into the game. Shit is sickening. One major rapper bigging up, co-signing, or signing another major, superstar rapper’s kid. All of these rappers out here and this gay ass, lame ass, overrated J. Cole nigga claiming how T.I.’s son got a “classic”. When I listen to this shit, I better hear nothing short of an Illmatic or The Infamous. The irony here is this nigga Jermaine walks around as if he got some classics up under his belt. Man, this dude ain’t got ONE near-classic. His best joint (to me) was 4 Your Eyez Only. That other shit was average.
Boul is actually flames tho. T.I. Was flames at a point in time too. It only makes sense that his son would likely share that skill as well whether he learned it from his father or not, it’s a part of his lifestyle.
First heard him live even though I had the chance to listen to him before it but decided I’d rather be surprised. I have to listen to the album fully again to really come up with my own decision, but that just tells you I think it has potential as a classic, after hearing it live.
He’s really good, and the beats were good too… you can tell he grew up listening to HIPHOP. He stands out amongst his age group.
