2014 Forest Hills Drive is the third studio album by American hip hop recording artist J. Cole. It was released on December 9, 2014, by Dreamville, Roc Nation and Columbia Records. Recording sessions took place over the whole year, while the production on the album was primarily by Cole himself, along with several others such as Illmind, Vinylz, Phonix Beats and Willie B.

The album was supported by four singles; "Apparently", "G.O.M.D.", "Wet Dreamz" and "No Role Modelz". Upon its release, 2014 Forest Hills Drive received generally positive reviews from critics who admired its ambitious concept, production and lyrics.

It is nominated for Best Rap Album at the upcoming 58th Grammy Awards. As of February 2016, the album has sold 1,126,000 copies in the United States.
