Ibrahim Hamad, the man behind J Cole‘s Dreamville collective, recently shared a photo on Instagram of the rapper visiting lifetime inmates at San Quentin State Prison in California.

Captioned with “We got the opportunity to spend the day at San Quentin State Prison talking and meeting inmates who will never see the outside again. That experience was a life changing experience and wish I had the ability to put that in a caption but that wouldn’t be doing it justice,” the uplifting images truly reflect Cole’s genuine character.
