With the one and only Jermaine Cole now "retired" (We don't believe in artists retiring) after the release of The Fall Off, we thought we'd contextualise Cole's career as a whole. From the mixtapes to the albums, we take it all in.

(We are aware it's March and we should be doing Women's History Month retrospectives. We'll start next week and go through to the 1st week of April!)
