J. Cole explaining how the 2nd side of The Fall-Off (Disc 39) almost didn’t happen. It was originally gonna be just the Disc 29 version with 15 songs, and it was gonna follow ONLY the concept of Disc 29, but be more interpretative, instead of the way it is now, where the album because divided into 2 sides, and Disc 29 being an a lot more easy to follow story that progresses from song to song… Reminder that these changes came because of the events of the rap beef and the apology that came after it. Before that, J. Cole already had a release date planned for The Fall-Off and it was 8 weeks after Might Delete Later. And that version of The Fall-Off was so very different by the sounds of it. But, the version we got sounds like it’s so much better than that original version, so honestly, we gotta thank Drake & Kendrick for that whole situation cause it led to an even better album from J. Cole 🔥

From being a high school math teacher to making $1M/ month flipping lawn mowers. Yes, you read that right. Yes, this is worth the watch. He was making $40k / year as a teacher and in one summer, made more just with this "side hustle" of his. He's now making 7 figures and has plans to go even bigger. Matt was a banger interview. He spills the beans with how this started, how he scaled it and how you can do it as well.
