Is J Cole a southern or an east coast rapper?

[AB Ziggy]

I mean yes he was raised in NC but his music is East Coast influenced and has almost nothing to do with the South. But nikka had to go to NY to get put on, not no damn North Carolina. What do y'all think?

East Coast. His main influences are Jay and Nas, he also spent 4 years in NYC for college.

his style is clearly imo more influenced by the 'east coast' especially when compared to most other southern rappers.

[SuckaFreeTee]

He always rep NC tho...But his influence was east coast...Vica versa with ASAP Rocky...He reps Harlem but had a southern sound...I think the lines are being blurred with regions in hip hop
