Stream J. Cole's 'Forest Hills Live' Concert Album

Birthday albums are all the rage this year. Ascendant rapper/singer/producer Allan Kingdom dropped Northern Lights to celebrate his 22nd; David Bowie released Blackstar on his 69th, two days before his death. And now J. Cole's got Forest Hills Drive: Live From Fayetteville, NC, landing right in tandem with his 31st birthday.

The record, performed in his hometown, replicates the entire 2014 Forest Hills Drive album, Cole's third studio full-length. It skips the chatty, 14-minute album closer "Note to Self"—mostly a sonic thank-you notes section—but adds an interlude with pieces of the mixtape/Cole World: The Sideline Story cuts " Lights Please," "In The Morning," and the Missy Elliott–featuring "Nobody's Perfect."
