Villuminati

About Villuminati

Cole sets the mood for "Born Sinner", which is also an ongoing theme, by wittingly announcing this body of work “way darker this time” – the previous time being his debut album. “Villuminati” is about the pressure Cole feels to succeed with Born Sinner. He is torn between making original music and staying true to himself on one side, and making marketable radio music, selling his artist’s soul to the devil on the other side. He subliminally uses two artist and the “Illuminati” to portray this struggle: Jay Z .
