J. Cole has turned quite a few heads in the hip hop community. Long before anyone heard him, Jay-Z snatched him up. Because Jay-Z usually has the top-of-the-line production for his music, people expect J. Cole to. But, unlike Jay-Z, J. Cole is considered to be more of a socially-concious rapper. He is more likely to work with lesser-known artists.
Havoc is one-half of Mobb Deep, who has been in the game for a very long time. Aside from rapping, he is also an acclaimed producer and his style would mesh well with J. Cole. The only problem would be Jay-Z, who he has feuded with for the past thirteen years. Two years ago, Havoc said that he would never be cool with Jay-Z, but he would produce for him.
Even with his issues with Jay-Z, Havoc understands that Jay-Z is where the money is at. The people who work for and with Jay-Z are well-paid people and the people who let Havoc produce for them end up with hits. In spite of longstanding feuds, Havoc is a great producer and J. Cole is a great rapper. If they were to join forces, the collaboration would be incredible.
