In all honesty, Elliott Wilson won with his newest series “CRWN”. I love the idea of sitting down and picking the brain’s of today’s shining stars.

Episode 2: Cole talks about what its like to work with Jay-Z. How important is approval from other artists? Does Cole feel he needs features to sale albums?
