Audio: J. Cole – Grew Up Fast

The Canei Finch-produced "Grew Up Fast" is J. Cole's gift to his fans, and it samples former Temptations member David Ruffin’s 1969 record "The Double Cross." "Grew Up Fast" has a super soulful throwback vibe which, based on his rhymes, was clearly Mr. Cole's intention: "It’s only right I brought back the soul/ Y'all got way too electro, damn near techno." J. also uses his signature flow to discuss several of his favorite famous peeps (shouts to Miss Cleo!): "And Miss Cleo's Jamaican/ And Bob Marley is Haitian/ And me and Beyoncé dating."
