As the date for the release of his long-awaited debut approaches, J. Cole treated fans to a preview of the project. For the latest installment of Any Given Sunday, the weekly series in which J Cole treats fans with a token of his appreciation as we lead up to the release of Cole World: The Sideline Story, the Roc Nation rapper revealed the project's cover art.
The photo finds the sports fiend sitting on a lockerroom bench while donning a letterman jacket and a forlorn facial expression. The design for the art work was conceived by Alex Haldi and Leann Mueller handled the photography.
Cole World: The Sideline Story is due in stores September 27.
