4 Your Eyez Only (2016) — J. Cole
A concept album told from the perspective of a friend who died — deeply personal, jazzy, and reflective.
Released on December 9, 2016, 4 Your Eyez Only is J. Cole’s fourth studio album. The 10-track concept album is largely told from the perspective of James McMillan Jr. — a childhood friend of Cole’s who died in the streets.
Features include Deja Vu, Neighbors, Immortal, Foldin Clothes, and the title track 4 Your Eyez Only. Jazzy live instrumentation dominates the production, giving the album a unique sonic identity.
Like 2014 Forest Hills Drive, the album has no traditional features. It debuted at number one and went platinum.
