What's good Cole, big fan here been following you since 09 back when I was on that student loan grind myself. Glad to see where you are now and it amazes me how some people think you just came out of no where. "They never see the grind, the blood sweat and tears, the only see the flourish". An answer for any one of these questions would be dope. Thanks

1) It doesn't look like your mom will have to go back to the Post Office after all homie. Congratulations. Your story inspires all of us who are grinding to get moms out the rat race. You've mentioned a couple times that although you knew you had to go to college because she instilled that in you, you always knew music was your number one goal. Did she know that your heart was set on rapping the whole time?

2) It seems you're exceptionally good at putting yourself in a female's shoes and painting a picture from her perspective(ie; Lost Ones, Lights Please, Crooked Smile and others). What's that process like for you? I take you to be sort of introverted and very observant. How are you able to "see" experiences from another's point of view so vividly?

3) Your story and your hustle resonates with a lot of us because it's the story of the grind...the fighting to get to a place that you feel you deserve. Never settling. A reoccuring theme on Born Sinner is that success isn't always what it's cracked up to be or at least not what you personally expected. What are some things about the rap game or fame in general you realize now, that you didn't while you were on trying to come up?

4) I still play Friday Night Lights heavy. It's a classic, could've easily been a full LP. I mean 2Face, See World, Before I'm gone..fuck..the whole fucking mixtape is crack. What made you put so much gems on a mixtape and not a full length album? I remember reading somewhere that you had too many songs for Cole World, but I don't know how true that is.

Lastly I just want to say thank you. Thank you for the music, the stories, the inspiration. Wish you all the best.

No lie. I emailed him once just casually asking for business advice and I received a response no more than 20 minutes later. I was surprised that he even responded at all, provided I'm sure he gets tons of emails from people all the time.
