Soon, J. Cole fans will be able to vibe to the Fayetteville, North Carolina, rapper’s long-awaited seventh album.
“The Fall-Off” will be available on Friday, Feb. 6. Cole announced the release date in early January, as well as the track and music video for “Disc 2 Track 2.”
The music video depicts the rapper working in a wood-paneled studio, running through his life in reverse, from his death, music career, marriage, son’s birth, and his own childhood.
Judging the album on a single track so far, fans are excited about what is next from J. Cole.
“Thank you, Jesus. It’s been a drought out here,” one Instagram user commented on the rapper’s announcement post. “I fear this is about to be his best work and we’re not ready,” another said.
His last album,” The Off-Season,” was released back in 2021.
The album can be streamed on major streaming platforms.
Additionally, physical versions, both CD and vinyl, are currently available for purchase on thefalloff.com. Cole gave fans insight into his decision to reimagine his album cover.
“2 years ago, after the events that still feed the algorithm til this day, I became incredibly re-inspired, and the album slowly blossomed into a double disc as the concept expanded,” he explained.
“I felt there should be an additional cover that represented that. Something just as strong as the first, with my face on it, so that when I look back in 20 years, I can see an image of who I was at the time I released the project I worked on for so long.”
In a Wednesday, Feb. 4, Instagram post, Cole further explained the meaning behind his double album. He admitted he made the project “with intentions to be my last,” adding that it “brings the concept of my first project full circle,” in reference to his 2007 mixtape The Come Up.
Disc 29:
“Disc 29 tells a story of me returning to my hometown at age 29. A decade after moving to New York, accomplishing what would have seemed impossible to most, I was at a crossroads with the 3 loves of my life; my woman, my craft and my city,” Cole wrote.
Disc 39:
“Disc 39 gives insight into my mindset during a similar trip home, this time as a 39 year old man. Older and a little closer to peace,” he continued.
On Tuesday night, Jan. 27, ahead of his 41st birthday, Cole announced his EP/mixtape “Birthday Blizzard ’26,” hosted by the legendary DJ Clue. The project sparked discourse on social media.
In the leading track, “Bronx Zoo Freestyle,” he appeared to respond to critics who have continued to question his legacy as a top three rap titan after bowing out of the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
“I used to be top seed/ Apology dropped me/ Way out of the top three/ No problem, I’m probably my best when they doubt me/ Watch me,” he said.
In addition to “Bronx Zoo Freestyle,” the project features other freestyles: “Golden Goose,” “Winter Storm,” and “99 Build.”
