The year of 2015 was a very interesting one in the rap game.
J. Cole went on an epic “Forest Hills Drive” tour, Kendrick Lamar dropped his “TPAB” and Drake released “IYRTITL”, while ethering Meek Mill.
Oh yeah, how could I forget Future’s epic year?
However, when it comes to dollars, no rapper earned more than J. Cole last year.
The “Love Yourz” rapper lands at #27 overall on the list after raking in a reported $8.8 million last year, with a bulk of that through touring. He embarked on the “2014 Forest Hills Drive Tour,” which took him around the world and ended with a homecoming show in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Cole cashed in an estimated $5.5 million from shows alone. He made $1.5 million in sales, $1.1 million in publishing and $788,000 from streams. His last LP, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, was released in December of 2014.
What a year for Cole World.
