J. Cole Performs "Crooked Smile" Live On Letterman

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

J. Cole took the stage at the Late Show With David Letterman to perform "Crooked Smile" - the summertime smash featuring a hook from TLC - from his Born Sinner LP. At first glance it seems a bit curious to see Cole still making the late-night rounds with this track. This, however, was just one of several joints J. Cole performed during a short set for the crowd at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The show - rounded out with a full band, background singers and a string quartet - was streamed live to the world by CBS Interactive. Check the footage below to watch J. Cole's performance of "Crooked Smile" live on the Late Show With David Letterman. Purchase the Born Sinner LP via iTunes.
