J. Cole's 2014 Forest Hills Drive: A Decade On, a Night to Remember in NYC

It's been a decade since J. Cole released his phenomenal album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. To celebrate, the artist has announced a special concert at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden on December 16. For fans eager to secure their spots, pre-sale tickets go live online starting December 2 at 10 a. m. EST, with general sales starting two days later on December 4 at the same time. But here's a sweet deal: J. Cole is setting aside 2, 014 tickets priced at just $1 each. These will be available for in-person purchase, with details dropped on December 16. 2014 Forest Hills Drive stands as Cole's most successful album to date, launched unexpectedly in December 2014 without any pre-release singles. Collaborating with producers like Illmind, Phonix Beats, Vinylz, and Willie B, the album showcases Cole's musical growth and introspective themes. In tandem with the anniversary celebration, J. Cole has been sharing his story through an audio series called Inevitable. He's also made his early mixtapes The Come Up, The Warm Up, and Friday Night Lights available on streaming platforms. And get this—the Dreamville Festival will return in 2025, happening at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina, on April 5 and 6.
