He had multiple hits by then (Quickie, Lotus Flower Bomb, Sure Thing) and his previous album did 400K.
Frank was a developing artist, who was known for hype and working with big names. Most people didn't even know who he was when it was blasted everywhere that he had came out in that letter before his album release.
Speaking of Miguel tho, I rediscovered this classic

Miguel sounds beautiful on that song.

J Cole could've been huge by now if he wasn't anti-fame.
J Cole is in the trinity along with Drake and Kendrick when it comes to mainstream success. (this is excluding Kanye & Eminem)
Yeah because people connect to his music so he's created a solid fan base off of that, but you never see him at award shows, being a part of popular collabs, etc. He doesn't like the famous life.

Not sure if it'll be a reach if I said he's kind of like the P!nk of rap in a way, both laid back, album sellers, "relatable". He doesn't need to be in the spotlight really.
