BET’s Rising Icons is one of the few programming pluses the network created and should receive a round of applause for, especially since we all give them grief for the wild assortment of crap they do wrong. For the latest installment for season two, Hip-Hop’s current everyman J. Cole talks being signed to the Roc, finishing his debut album and performs a few tracks.

Other than the fact they are throwing the word icon around too easy; Season 1 was well done. J Cole is a talent on the rise; but he and the artist in season 1 hasn’t done anything in their careers to be called icon yet.
