J. Cole is currently celebrating the ten-year anniversary of his third studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, and fans can get a piece of the album in a special edition vinyl format.

The album was released in December 2014 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 353,000 copies in its first week, and has since been certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In addition to the chart success, 2014 Forest Hills Drive was nominated for Best Rap Album, and the song "Apparently" was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Dreamville boss reissued the album last year for its tenth anniversary, and it came in two different versions with four additional unreleased tracks. The first version was a "10 Year Anniversary Edition," which includes a blue-colored version of the original cover and four new songs: "Home Soon," "Die Together," "Judgement Day" and "Winter Wonderland."

The second was an "Alternate Cover" edition that came with new artwork and several more bonus tracks, including "Keep Heaven Dancing," "Miles," "Black Man In Hollywood," and "Obviously." To honor the critically acclaimed album, only 2,014 copies of the "Alternate Cover" vinyl were made available.

Cole performed the album in its entirety for a special anniversary show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The sold-out show had the North Carolina native performing a medley of hits off the album such as "January 28th," "Fire Squad," "G.O.M.D," "Apparently," "Love Yourz," "No Role Modelz," and more.
