J Cole started rapping at the age of 12 when his cousin showed him the basics of rhyming. Inspired by Tupac Shakur, Nas, and OutKast, J. Cole developed a love for telling stories in his lyrics. At age 15, J. Cole had notebooks filled with rhymes but not beats of his own to lay them on. His mother bought him a beat machine so he could produce music himself. By the age of 17, he was posting songs on internet forums such as canibus-central.com under the moniker "Therapist".
