BET Live! Presents J.Cole at the Fox Theatre 10/1

Roc Nation artist, J.Cole, kicks off a collection of fall tour dates, beginning on Friday, October 1st in Normal, AL and concluding in New York City on December 5th. North Carolina native J.Cole is the first MC to be signed to JAY-Z's Roc Nation and has appeared on JAY-Z's "The Blueprint 3" on the aptly-titled track "A Star is Born." He recently rocked the stage at Yankees Stadium as part of JAY-Z and EMINEM's Home & Home Tour.

J.Cole's upcoming tour kicks off on the heels of his first official single, "Who Dat," which has been described as a "fiery diatribe about why he's hip-hop's next to blow" (USA Today). Entertainment Weekly describes the BB Gun directed video as "cleverly executed."

J.Cole fans can also see him performing on the upcoming BET Hip-Hop Awards, scheduled to air on October 12th, where he was nominated for "Rookie Of The Year" and will be heard on the upcoming EA SPORTS basketball game, NBA ELITE 11. J.Cole has teamed up with Grammy Award Winning Producer and DJ, 9th Wonder to create the soundtrack for the game, which will include the title track "The Plan" written and produced by J. Cole.

He was recently named the winner of this year's "Who's Got Next" Award at MTV2's Sucker Free Summit and was also dubbed a "Rising Icon" by BET. With his highly-anticipated debut album on the horizon, J. Cole has been touted as an "Artist to Watch in 2010" by publications such as Spin, XXL, Entertainment Weekly and industry bible, Billboard Magazine.
