J. Cole, Drake and Kendrick Lamar are among the young artists earning spots on “Forbes'” annual “30 Under 30” lists.  In the music category, the magazine praised Cole for becoming a “hip-hop force” who now earns “six-figures per night on his world tour.”  They also point out that the 28-year-old Roc Nation artist’s second album “Born Sinner” debuted at number two, solidifying him as an artist who “is here to stay.”  Drake also landed on the list for netting more than 30-million-dollars in the past two years through not only his music, but also endorsements with Sprite and Kodak.  The magazine also placed the 26-year-old Kendrick Lamar on the list for his seven Grammy nominations as well as earning nine-million-dollars in 2013.
