On Sunday (Nov. 17), the Dreamville head honcho shared a trailer on social media for the new series, which is titled Inevitable. The clip explains how the idea came together after Cole's manager Ibrahim Hamad found an old laptop in his garage containing tons of footage and audio from Cole's life and early rap career. Together with filmmaker Scott Lazer they decided to put their reactions and critiques of the resurfaced material in an audio format and share it with the world.
"It’s hard to write a caption to describe what this is," Cole captioned the trialer, which can be seen below. "I really don’t even know what to call it. We settled on calling it an 'audio series' but to me it plays like a movie in the form of a conversation."
He added, "As the years of my career grew I found myself much more hesitant to share details of my life with the world. Even as I type this, I feel the last little bit of resistance. 'You sure you want to do this?' But if I was a younger version of myself, I know that I would get so much fuel from hearing this from somebody that went for theirs and 'made it.' For that reason, I think it’s worth sharing.
