In this interview with Electronic Musician Magazine, J. Cole mentions using Reason:

"I had switched to [Propellerhead Software] Reason because the thing that always bugged me with the ASR was I couldn’t play anything. I was limited to samples and drums. So when I got introduced to Reason, I fell in love with all these instruments. I could make a beat the same way, but then I could pull up a piano on top and play some keys, then go through all these bass lines to choose the one I want. Getting to touch the keys and play changed the whole thing. I could now see how Timbaland made that More than a Woman beat–with a guitar, live bass, synths, etc.–so it opened my mind to what you could do with more layers."
