J. Cole
J. Cole, the lyrical wordsmith, surprised everyone by wielding a bachelor’s in communication and marketing – a true maestro of both beats and business. Amidst freestyle flows and branding strategies, Cole was the rapper who could rock the mic and the market boardroom.

With a swagger as smooth as his verses, he probably pitched rhymes with the same conviction he pitched products. Who knew this hip-hop heavyweight was once mastering the art of messaging? It’s just so hard to imagine someone aspiring to be a rapper also having a bachelor’s degree.
