Last night (Nov. 5), J Cole appeared as the musical guest on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing the TLC-assisted record “Crooked Smile.” Although TLC did not perform, Cole held his own with a live band and violinists.

A few weeks ago, Cole wrapped up the U.S portion of his What Dreams May Come tour featuring Wale. The European leg kicks off Nov. 10. Also look out for Cole’s mini-concert series with Vevo next month. – Shanae Hatchett
