NEW YORK — J. Cole has a huge appetite when it comes to his career.

Although he’s had a platinum single, a gold album and a Grammy nomination for best new artist, he wants more.

“I’m grateful for everything that happened, but I’m not satisfied,” J. Cole said in a February interview. “There (are) still accomplishments that keep happening from the work that I put in last year and from the last two, three years ... but those are just reminders of the work that I did. That’s in the past. Like, what’s the next move? That’s my mind state.”
