He went further to do several other mixtapes as a solo rapper and gained respect in the rap music industry for his entertaining and unique style of rapping. At the time he was very active in rap music, he was the epitome of what people were asking for in a great rapper.

J Cole’s Mom, Brother, and Wiki Facts

Born on January 28, 1985, is Jermaine Lamarr Cole easily identified as J Cole. He was born in an American military base in Frankfurt, West Germany to an African American father who was a former soldier in the US Army. His mother Kay Cole is a white German woman who worked as a postal staff for the United States Postal Service.

Kay Cole single-handedly raised J Cole and his brother Zach Cole when her husband abandoned them in his youth. This prompted the single mum to relocate the family of three to Fayetteville, North Carolina and gave J and Zach Cole the opportunity to grow up in a multi-ethnic environment. J Cole admitted that growing up in such a multi-ethnic society afforded him the opportunity to easily identify with white people because his mother is one, but he still feels more connected to blacks whom he looks more like.

Growing up, J Cole took to basketball and music and even served as a first chair violinist for the Terry Sanford Orchestra until 2003. As at the year 2000, he had already seen music as his ideal profession when his mother gifted him an ASR-X musical sampler as a Christmas gift. With this, he increased his efforts in improving his music production skills and will soon begin his music production under the pseudonym Therapist. He later went ahead to collaborate with a local group Bomm Sheltuh in rapping and making music as a member of the group.

One of the much talked about things about J Cole other than his older biological brother being uniquely white is his crooked smile which is largely determined by his dentition and the way they look when exposed.

In one of his interesting interviews about his crooked smile, he described himself as having a “snaggle-tooth” and recounts how his mother used to say that he needed braces but she couldn’t afford them.
