Tomorrow, J. Cole will finally release his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. For well over two years, fans have been patiently waiting on this album. Now, all of the waiting and all of the delays are over. J. Cole is finally ready to deliver fans his debut album.

If 2011 went by without J. Cole releasing his debut album, most fans would have officially stopped waiting on him. Last year, J. Cole released his "Who Dat" single, which generated a little buzz. Many assumed the single would be the first offering from his debut album, but the single lost steam and no album came.

During the summer, many began to wonder where J. Cole had gone and he came back. J. Cole conducted an interview and he promised fans his debut album would be coming out before the end of 2011. In later months, J. Cole boldly announced his album would be released no later than September 27. Now, his album is coming out and J. Cole has two hit singles currently buzzing.

J. Cole said his album was delayed because he wanted to release "Can't Get Enough" with Trey Songz as his first single a year ago. But, when the label denied him, J. Cole instead decided to release his Friday Night Lights mixtape. Now, a year later, "Work Out" is his current hit and "Can't Get Enough" is going to be his second single from the album. Because he could not get "Can't Get Enough" as his single, J. Cole released a lot of his album tracks on the mixtape.
