In his freshman year of high school, Cole was introduced to the blossoming music scene in Chicago featuring rappers like Chief Keef, Vic Mensa, and Chance the Rapper. Cole watched from a far for a while before deciding “I need to go experience this.” Cole would travel to Chicago 2-3 times a week to see as many shows as he possibly could. At all of these shows Cole would bring his camera to capture the moment and as this continued his love for hip-hop continued to grow as well. Cole then saved up for his first camera and shot as much he possibly could, He realized at this time that blogs were the most relevant way for people to find out about new music and Cole knew from that point that he needed to start one of his own.
This is where Lyrical Lemonade was born, As the years went by Cole began to see more and more success and he was the one who highlighted many of the most talented artists coming into the hip-hop scene. This success has continued to this day and Cole not only works with new up-and-comers but has had the chance to work with massive artists in the music industry like Blink 182, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, and many others.
