Top 20 highest-paid Hip Hop artistes of 2015 – See who’s number 1! (With Pictures)

14. J. Cole: $11 Million 

J. Cole promised that the “Internet will shutdown” in September of 2015 when he teased a joint album featuring himself and Kendric Lamar, who is next on the list of the highest-paid hip-hop artists of the past year. Cole did well on his own last year, as his 2014 Forest Hills Drive album sold 354,000 copies in its first week according to Forbes. Other than his music projects, Cole has kept himself busy with the Dreamville Foundation. This foundation has, among other things, served to provide for the urban youth of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Cole’s childhood home.
