So I did the J.Cole contest in this hour but NO ONE knew the answer. I played the following J.Cole songs below and the contest was to name the songs and the mixtapes they were on. No one called in so I gave a pair away on our facebook fan page. That wasn’t a hard question was it?

With his mixtape just released a few weeks ago I played a couple of Shaun Boothe tracks on The Come Up Show. I love bringing attention back to great projects that have been released to remind you and I to give it a listen. Since there is so much new music being released everyday, it’s good to go back and take a minute. Also in the beginning of this hour J.R. addresses some concerns some local artists have had with our first mixtape Feel Good Music Vol.1 and yours truly.
