J. Cole’s The Fall-Off is just some weeks away. On Wednesday (Jan. 14), the North Carolina rapper introduced that his forthcoming album will arrive on Feb. 6.

In a trailer for the album, Cole is proven washing a automobile at a self-service station and later sitting at a restaurant counter. Over the footage, a narrator discusses how individuals love to speak about “famous actors or musicians” who aren’t as massive as they as soon as have been: “It’s like, ‘Oh, this guy used to be famous and then he fell off. What happened?’”

The narration goes on: “They want to point to ‘They did this and this’ and they made some sort of mistake instead of thinking that ‘Look, it’s kind of crazy they got famous in the first place.’ So few people reach that level that, yes, of course it’s not going to last forever because somebody else has to take that spot.” The trailer ends with what appears like a track from the brand new album taking part in because the title seems.

Alongside the video, Cole shared a hyperlink to the LP’s website, the place followers can pre-order it on vinyl. “This is the first-ever pressing of The Fall-Off,” the product description reads, noting that the Stealth Edition “will be the only time the album will be available in this form.”

So far, no singles have been confirmed for The Fall-Off, though the Dreamville Records frontman has launched loads of loosies over the previous few years. Fans bought “t h e . c l i m b . b a c k” and “Lion King On Ice” in 2020, adopted by “Port Antonio” and final yr’s “cLOUDs.” It feels unlikely the latter two shall be included, provided that one was a response monitor, and the opposite premiered on his The Algorithm weblog.

Outside of the album, Cam’ron sued the “Power Trip” hitmaker final yr over their “Ready ‘24” collaboration on Might Delete Later.
