J. Cole seems adamant about continuing his weekly Any Given Sunday series of announcements, videos, and/or tracks related to his forthcoming proper debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story. After providing the album artwork last week -- it's over there to the left of this text -- he dished out some somewhat major information by way of revealing the project's track listing. And he did this all before having to sit down and watch his label boss (Jay-Z) tear up the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards alongside Kanye West.
Speaking of Hov, we already had a feeling that he would show up on
The Sideline Story. But what we didn't expect was an appearance from Missy Elliott, which should make for a pretty damn interesting listen. Other guests include Trey Songz (of course) and Drake (double of course), the latter of whom appears on "
In the Morning," a single that's been out since, what, November of last year? Whatever, it's still a solid joint and deserves placement on a proper project. The track listing also reveals that Cole has produced almost the entire album. The sole guest producer is No I.D., who is at the helm of a track called "Never Told."
