Everyone has a group of items that they simply couldn't live without. Hypebeast recently quizzed J. Cole about what his essentials would be, to which he responded with a number of items.

In addition to the regular Hennessy and stacks of cash, Cole mentioned his love for reading.

"Books. I always have about four books in my backpack," revealed Cole. "I feel like there were books I was suppose to read in high-school and didn't as well as new books I discovered as I got older. I read on long flights which is the only time I really have time to read. Some of these books have been the inspirations for my new album 'Born Sinner.'"

Check out the rest of his essentials in the picture above.
