J Cole has released his debut mixtape on streaming platforms, accompanied by an exciting new audio series.

Fans of J Cole are buzzing on social media following the exciting news that the rapper has made his debut mixtape, The Come Up, Vol. 1, available on streaming services as of Monday night, almost twenty years after its initial release. The decision followed Cole’s release of a fresh audio series called Inevitable, where he contemplates the trajectory of his career. The premiere episode features him diving into the 2007 mixtape discussion.”J. Cole is launching podcast episodes discussing his classic mixtapes while also re-releasing them on streaming platforms… that’s pure genius,” one user shared on X (formerly Twitter). One person expressed, “I can’t believe how long I’ve been waiting for J. Cole’s mixtapes to finally be available on streaming…” Some users speculated about the potential release of additional mixtapes paired with related episodes. “When J Cole finally drops Friday Night Lights on streaming platforms, it’s going to feel like a celebration,” one fan expressed.

Cole unveiled his highly anticipated Inevitable audio series on Sunday night through an extensive social media announcement. Although he expressed some reluctance about sharing it, he ultimately realized that a younger version of himself would have cherished the opportunity to hear it from his favorite rapper. “I gained immense clarity from it, realizing more than ever the strength of having a dream, the importance of nurturing that dream with a compelling vision, the extraordinary transformations that occur when we remain aligned with a higher purpose, and the shadows that can creep in during moments of disconnection,” he reflected on the experience.
