J. Cole first mentioned 'The Fall Off' back in 2018, when he made '1985 (Intro to 'The Fall Off')' as the concluding track of 'KOD'. Ever since, there has been mounting anticipation around the album, which was supposed to be released in 2020. While J. Cole reassured fans that the project was on the way, there was no concrete release date for the album. 

Now, after a five-year gap since his last album, the rapper has finally revealed when the long-awaited project will arrive. With 'The Fall Off' set to drop next month, fans are eager to get their hands on it as soon as possible.

J. Cole is all set to release his seventh studio album, 'The Fall-Off,' next month, with the release date scheduled for February 6. This comes after the album’s initial release plan in 2020, which was later postponed. Along with the announcement, J. Cole shared a teaser and a separate site where fans can pre-order the album.

The 'Fall-Off' follows J. Cole’s 2021 album The 'Off-Season' and his 2024 mixtape 'Might Delete Later.' As for the video promoting the album, it shows Cole performing everyday tasks, such as washing his car and eating at Waffle House. However, these simple moments carry a deeper meaning, as the narrator explains the inspiration behind the album’s title.

 The narration tells how fame can fade over time, and it seemed to hint at how actors and musicians who were once widely admired often lose recognition as new stars rise. J. Cole also shared Disc 2- Track 2 on his Instagram a day ago, which has created a frenzy among the fans.

Why did J.Cole apologize for his disstrack on Kendrick Lamar

J. Cole had dropped the ‘7 Minute Drill’ as a response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on ‘Like That.’ The track immediately fueled speculation about a full-blown lyrical battle between two of hip-hop’s most respected voices. However, the moment did not last long as J. Cole apologized for the gesture.

During his appearance at Dreamville Festival in North Carolina, he admitted that the diss did not sit right with him in a candid three-minute monologue.

"I ain't gonna lie to y'all the past two days felt terrible," he told the audience at the festival. "I damn near had a relapse".
