This post made my day. According to Hits Daily Double  J.Cole’s debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story has sold an estimated 217,324 copies in its first week.

If these numbers are true that would make Cole’s album the highest solo Hip-Hop debut this year. Congrats to Roc Nation and Dreamville. You guys worked hard and deserve this. Final numbers tomorrow. #ColeWorld

UPDATE 10-5-2011: Final number via SoundScan: 217,825

Digital: 93,174 | CD: 124,651

J.Cole Thanks All His Fans Below

Rap artist Trae Tha Truth has long been known for giving back to the community. Back in 2008 he was honored with his own day, ‘Trae Day’, by then Mayor, Bill White, for his many acts of community service to those less fortunate in his city. Each year that day has seen Trae hosting a free block party featuring donated school supplies, school immunizations, children’s game and rides and a free concert by an impressive roster of local and nationally known artists. Taking that commitment a step further, Trae, along with his charitable organization, Angel By Nature (ABN), is to open an emergency children’s shelter to temporarily house children who have ended up in the system while more permanent placements can be found. The official opening of the 3,000 square foot facility, built out to house 20-30 transitional children, ranging in age from newborn to 17 years, will take place on November 1^st.

Buzzmaking emcee and new SRC/Universal Records signee Paypa has hooked up with DJBooth.net to bring listeners his latest street release, Henny on the Rocks.

The Chicago-born, Southern California-based artist’s third mixtape, the project finds Paypa offering listeners a glimpse into his life (and enjoying his favorite drink) in 17 dope cuts packed with 14 original tracks.

Joining Paypa on the guest tip throughout Henny are such collaborators as Chris Brown, Nipsey Hussle,Ya Boy and Marcus Manchild. Beats come courtesy of The Monsters & The Strangerz, Da Internz, Kev Da Khemist, Evan “Emac” Palmer,Malay, Hasan and more. Check out Paypa on Twitter (@PaypaTime) or his website PaypaTime.com

Big Sean’s “Dance (Ass)” off his debut album Finally Famous gets a Minaj remix. It’s only a radio rip for now but pretty decent verse from Nicki. Hey if you don’t like it just enjoy the above picture. Good Lawd!

Nipsey hasn’t dropped much lately and many (including me) have missed him. Today he decided since he hit 160,000 followers on Twitter that he’ll drop some heat. The Marathon Continues is due out November 11.
