Roc Nation is now distributed through Universal where Cole was being distributed through Columbia when he was originally with Roc Nation. Something probably got negotiated with the new switch based on how successful Cole has been. Probably gave dude back some of his masters or something. Rihanna has the the whole Westbury Road/Roc Nation shyt now too.

Nah... this happened a few years ago. J. Cole is no longer under Columbia and his Dreamville label to Interscope is the equivalent to what Roc-A-Fella was to Def Jam. He;s still under Roc Nation, but the two have a joint label deal with Interscope.

That doesn't contradict what I said. Dreamville is Cole's own imprint under Interscope. That doesn't really have anything to do with his Roc Nation deal. His last album was the last one with Columbia because Roc Nation is now distributing through Universal. If not, he would still distribute through them because he liked them. He even said it on FHD. Cole should still be on his original deal with Roc Nation, the fact that it's not (according to @Brady-Carter because I haven't preordered...I just use TIDAL) means that there was some renegotiating between Roc Nation/Interscope/Universal because Interscope should have nothing to do with the project. It's like how Jay Z had his own Roc Nation label, but had to buy out his last album (BP3) from Def Jam. Your new label does not have to go through your old label.

Ya,I think all three of us are mixing shyt up. Cole took his label to interscope(as @Abogado said). Minus Omen for some reason. But Cole is still on Roc nation just with a different deal. Which Ib talked about working out on a Rapradar podcast a bit back.

I just noticed this when I pre order the album.

Dreamville Under exclusive License to Roc Nation.

Then looked at the track list and interscope is involved.

Some of us are going to buy a physical copy. Some of us want to throw on a retail album and not have to edit it for it to be listenable. Some of us actually want the best music on the actual album.

Look at Coles catalogue his best material isn't on his albums and that a hit to his legacy.

FHD was Cole's LAST album under Columbia.... Cole even mentioned this in his OUTRO.

Yes I know. Frankly I am not trying to argue with you or @Abogado. My whole point was, it looks like Cole(Ib) worked out a deal with Roc Nation and interscope(After the Colombia deal ended).

What was interesting to me, is that Interscope was involved( Joie Manda brought Dreamville to Interscope). Which Cole took his label too.

I still hope everybody dies finds a way on there. He said on the documentary that it was an interlude so hopefully it's tacked onto one of the other tracks...

I liked False Prophets too but I can only imagine how Wale might feel about it a few months from now when Cole is performing it on tour or fans keep asking him about it on twitter. Might be best to keep that one as a loosy
