4 Your Eyez Only [VINYL]

Product Information

As Cole reveals in this, the closing track, this project is meant as a parting message from Cole’s departed friend James to his daughter. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times praised 4 Your Eyez Only, describing it as "spartan but sumptuous, emotionally acute but plain-spoken. The people that I know that live that life and come from that life, or even used to live that life, there's so much more than that.

The first 13 dates took place in smaller, intimate venues, while the next set of dates took place in arenas. Promoting the release, Cole released a one-hour documentary ( by the same name) on April 15, 2017, on HBO, featuring music from the album. William Sutton of PopMatters wrote a positive review, deeming the album Cole's "most mature and cohesive record to date", he commented saying: "Whilst 4 Your Eyez Only may not be full of the political rage and rhetoric of Run the Jewels or the figurehead positioning of To Pimp a Butterfly, it presents another perspective, a simpler, more grounded viewpoint. Your Eyez Only, Views and The Weeknd's Starboy were the first albums ever to move over 100,000 albums in a week with streaming alone. Most of these recordings took place from 2015 to 2016, while the production on the album was primarily handled by Cole himself, alongside several other record producers such as Vinylz, Boi-1da, Cardiak, Ron Gilmore, Frank Dukes, Chargaux and Elite, among others.People were running out of their house to take a photo of Cole and ask him questions but, there was something to me about this boy and how he kept looking at Cole as he walked around his neighborhood.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 14 reviews. Jesse Fairfax from HipHopDX wrote that, "Cole deserves consideration for tugging at the heartstrings of listeners with raw human emotion but still leaves open the door to reach a musical zenith. Though I can’t fault him for attempting to experiment with a new sound and the rest of the album is enough to make up for the mishap.The instrumental, titled "Waves" was used by multiple artists, most notably, fellow rapper Joey Badass, who used it for his track, "Waves", off his debut mixtape, 1999 (2012). The majority of the album was recorded at a home and recording studio in North Carolina that Cole nicknamed the Sheltuh. This is the album where we really get to know him on a personal level through sincere and deep lyrics that still leave me in awe. Cole's worst project, this is arguably his best and is (in my opinion) filled with more emotion than all of his other projects.
