Once again these tracks are solid and if you argued that they belonged in the top five I would understand. “Deja Vu” and “Change” round out the top five due to the wow factor each track contains. There’s not much else I need to say about it. In third place I’ve chosen “Immortal.” It’s a banger.

The music is settled, filled with jazz touches and strings, allowing the words to become the focus.

At center stage with no featured guests, the North Carolina rapper speaks out on social ills, black lives, and doing the right thing in a world of wrong. You can clearly hear it in his voice-pleading, testifying, on the verge of cracking. Cole dropped his fourth studio album “4 Your Eyez Only.” What are your favorite songs? I’ve decided to rank all of the tracks off his latest album, plus “Everybody Dies” and “False Prophets” which were released on his “Eyez” documentary days before the release.Īccording to the official iTunes review for the album, “4 Your Eyez Only plunges deep into J.
