J.Cole discuses the Risks of Social Media

In this personal and honest interview J. Cole discusses the difficulties and benefits of distancing himself from social media which he describes as if he were giving up a drug. He has taken time away form social media to improve his mental health and reconnect with a world off the screen and can see the benefits of this. Overall, it is refreshing to see a celebrity highlighting the risks associated with such technologies as they are often falsely presented to us by our consumerist culture as a natural aspect of communication, our lives, and our communities.
