J COLE RELEASES ‘THE OFF SEASON’!
14th May 2021
J Cole just dropped his new album The Off-Season!
The project includes the previous single that dropped last week “I n t e r l u d e” and boasts production from Timbaland, Boi-1da, frequent collaborator T-Minus, J. Cole, and more. It also features cameos from 21 Savage, Lil Baby, and Cam’ron.
All five of J. Cole’s studio LPs have been certified platinum, the last three— 2014 Forest Hills Drive, 4 Your Eyez Only, KOD — have famously gone “platinum with no features.”
In the time since KOD, J. Cole has also delivered his own spate of guest verses. To name a few, Cole has featured on Gang Starr’s “Family and Loyalty,” Ty Dolla $ign’s “Purple Emoji” Young Thug’s “The London,” and 21 Savage’s “a lot,” which earned the rapper the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Rap Song.
In 2019, J. Cole and Dreamville released Revenge of The Dreamers III. The following year he shared the singles “The Climb Back” (which appears on The Off-Season), “Lion King on Ice” and “Snow on tha Bluff.”
To learn even more about the new album, the North Carolina rapper has also shared a mini-documentary, Applying Pressure: The Off-Season ( watch below), which chronicled the inspiration behind the album, the title, and what Cole has been up to in the interim before its release.
As Cole has said, this album has been years in the making!
In other news Cole is getting ready to play basketball professionally. He has always spoken about his passion for the game but didn’t have the dedication as college to put to it also wanting to do music more. Looks like it’s never too late to live out your dreams. It had been reported he is getting ready to play for Rwanda-based Patriots BBC, a team that will be playing in the all-new Basketball Africa League…. get ready for your merch to sell out!
