To celebrate his return, he released the song 'Visionz of Home' (which launched an event, titled 'Dreamville weekend') to inspire the youth of his hometown to achieve great things. On July 26, he returned to Twitter after a 100-day absence and went on to reveal and release his new song 'The Cure' in where he hints at a new album. On October 20, he announced at a live show that his second album was complete and he would wait until after Kendrick Lamar released Good Kid, M.A.A.D City to reveal it and previewed two new songs, 'Maine on Fire' and 'Crooked Smile.' However they were not tied to any project. 'Maine on Fire' would end up appearing on a Funkmaster Flex mixtape.

#MP3 DOWNLOAD J COLE BORN SINNER ALBUM SERIES# I wouldn't have minded doing it again but I felt that I closed that story. 'That metaphor and that storyline had really ended.

Metaphorically I was just a kid working to get on this basketball team, got cut – that was The Come Up, then The Warm Up was like, alright I made the team, I'm on the team, now what? I'm not in the game, I'll just ride the end of the bench. Then Friday Night Lights was like 'come on man, you're still not gonna put me in the game? What I gotta do? Here, I'm gonna kill it in practice. Sideline Story was like, Wow, I really am starting now, and I feel like I ended that chapter when it's all said and done. Plus, this new theme is really more reflective of where I'm at and where I've been at for the past two years, so it was just perfect to move on. Cole announced a release date of January 28, 2013, (his birthday) along with the album name on November 9, 2012. In early January the album was included on multiple 'Most Anticipated Albums of 2013' such as MTV and XXL ranked Born Sinner the sixth most anticipated album of 2013. After describing the January release date as ambitious, he would announce on New Years Day 2013 that the album would be coming out at a later date. Cole said that the album should arrive around June 2013. He later would confirm a release month for June, and then on April 8, 2013, J. #MP3 DOWNLOAD J COLE BORN SINNER ALBUM SERIES#.

A handful of other numbers carry that same weight, making Born Sinner a daring step forward for Cole and an exciting attempt at mastering Jay's Blueprint style. Still, 'Crooked Smile' with special guests TLC is a genuine, mature step in the right direction and will have no trouble reaching vintage age. All this bold borrowing is backed up by lyrics that flow fine until their shocking twists ('She raisin' that guy's kids while she swallowin' mine'), while 'She Knows' with Dirty Projectors vocalist Amber Coffman is shameless enough to spit 'This is Martin Luther King in the Club/With a bad bitch in his ear/Saying that she down for whatever/In the back of his mind is Coretta.' It's snide, smart-ass stuff and when it comes to sublime/ridiculous balancing act that his heroes Jay-Z and Nas have mastered, Cole is a little short on the sublime side here to be considered classic. Cole is the one who produced most of the album himself with his Kanye-sense of sampling (work songs, gospel, old soul, etc.) and his love of hard bass (check 'Trouble,' 'Chaining Day,' or infectious single 'Power Trip' for some great low end) both returning from before, but it's his love of jazz that provides the greatest rewards as 'Forbidden Fruit' (it's like Erykah Baduh meets Ice Cube on this soulful dude cut with guest Kendrick Lamar) and 'Let Nas Down' (a pledge to honor the man with better rhymes and less pop) are both driven by their Blue Note-inspried backbeats. No spoiler alert required for that one as the opening 'Villuminati' has the gall to sample Biggie's classic 'Juicy' while using Jay's nickname as a mantra by repeating 'Sometimes I brag like Hov,' but besides this, Born Sinner is the a more self-confessional and word-filled effort than before, all of it very busy and Black Album minus the references to Beyoncé and the beats from Rick Rubin.
