J. Cole's China Basketball Stint, Fall-Off Tour Prep

0:00On April 13th, Jay Cole just wrapped up a quick run in China's basketball association with the Nanjing Monkey Kings. He only got into one game on his three-game plan because of a work visa hold-up. On April 13th, he dropped the blog post recapping the whole thing, sounding straight grateful for the shot. He laced up for eight minutes in that pro league matchup, took some solid looks but couldn't knock any down. Still, Cole called it fulfilling, joking his knees felt like he logged 40 minutes, and he might as well have dropped 20 points in spirit. Fans and his family made the trip special. It was their first time in China, and he was shocked by how many folks they'd bump his music. Crowd showed up with albums to sign, and the arena energy had everyone rooting hard for those buckets. Visa Delay's cut it short, but no regrets. He shouted out the team, the club, and the league for the welcome. Teammates pushed him to score, keeping it real cool. Now Cole's shifting gears back home, prepping his fall-off world tour that hit stages from July straight through December.
