Happy birthday! J. Cole turns 41 today

J. Cole is celebrating his 41st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-producer J. Cole (2014 Forest Hills Drive, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 41st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cole, a cultural icon

Born Jermaine Lamarr Cole in Frankfurt on January 28, 1985, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cole's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little J. hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for J. Cole as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 41.

Happy Birthday, J., you're the best!
