This 2023 reissue marks the album's 10th anniversary and presents it on double vinyl for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded over an extended period that saw Cole travelling between New York and his native Fayetteville, North Carolina, \u003cem\u003eBorn Sinner\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in the wake of his critically acclaimed debut \u003cem\u003eCole World: The Sideline Story\u003c\/em\u003e (2011) and represented a significant artistic leap. Where the debut had introduced Cole's storytelling voice, this album deepened and darkened it — wrestling with themes of faith, temptation, ambition, identity and the moral compromises demanded by fame. The title itself frames the album as a kind of confession: Cole is not a villain, but nor is he a saint, and the record sits honestly in that grey area throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album boasts an exceptional roster of collaborators. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Power Trip\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — featuring Miguel — became one of the most successful singles of 2013, reaching \u003cstrong\u003enumber 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100\u003c\/strong\u003e and earning a \u003cstrong\u003eGrammy nomination for Best Rap\/Sung Collaboration\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Crooked Smile\"\u003c\/strong\u003e features \u003cstrong\u003eTLC\u003c\/strong\u003e in one of the group's most celebrated post-2000 appearances. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Forbidden Fruit\"\u003c\/strong\u003e showcases \u003cstrong\u003eJhené Aiko\u003c\/strong\u003e at her most ethereal, while \u003cstrong\u003e\"Let Nas Down\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — a remarkably candid track about Cole's conflicted feelings after Nas criticised one of his singles — stands as one of the most honest pieces of self-reflection in modern rap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Cole's production is as impressive as his lyricism — spare, atmospheric and deeply soulful, drawing on gospel, blues and classic East Coast hip-hop without ever feeling derivative. \u003cem\u003eBorn Sinner\u003c\/em\u003e is a record that rewards close listening and has only grown in stature in the decade since its release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVilluminati\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKerney Sermon (Skit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand of the Snakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Trip (ft.
