Whose song "No Role Modelz" was released in September 2014?

The song “No Role Modelz” was released by J. Cole. It appears on his third studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, which arrived on December 9, 2014, through Dreamville Records and Columbia Records.

J. Cole wrote and performed the track, with production credited to Phonix Beats and additional production from Cole and Pop Wansel. The song reflects on celebrity culture, unhealthy relationships, and the difficulty of finding positive examples in modern life.

A common mix-up is the release timing: “No Role Modelz” is associated with 2014, but the album and song were officially released in December rather than September. It later became one of Cole’s biggest songs, helped by its memorable chorus and strong streaming performance.

The track was eventually issued as a single to urban and rhythmic radio in 2015. It became Cole’s highest-charting song from 2014 Forest Hills Drive at the time and was later certified multi-platinum by the RIAA.
