Rappers With a College Degree

4. J. Cole

Although this young man still has a way to go until he reaches iconic status, he’s done very well for himself so far. Not only is he signed to Jay Z’s label, Roc Nation, under which he released two albums, but he also started his own label called Dreamville Records. However, before dedicating himself to hip hop’s urban sounds, J.Cole attended St. Johns University in New York City on a basketball and academic scholarship. And his determination spoke loudly as he graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Communication and Business.
