J. Cole announced on social media on Tuesday that his new album The Off-Season will drop on May 14th. This will be the “Power Trip” rapper’s sixth studio effort and will follow the 2018 release KOD.
Cole shared the cover art for the album on Instagram while adding in the caption that The Off-Season was “years in the making.” Tracklist and further details about the project are currently kept under wraps.
It was previously believed that Cole’s next record will be titled The Fall Off since the last song on KOD was titled “Intro to ‘The Fall-Off’.” He also released two singles from the album, “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice,” which were coupled on a 2020’s EP Lewis Street.
Reports say that Cole still intends to release The Fall Off as a separate project but that the album will come at a later date.
Since the release of KOD, J. Cole kept himself busy with the compilation album Revenge of the Dreamers III. The LP, which came out in 2019, featured artists from his Dreamville label and guests like DaBaby, Ty Dolla Sign, and Vince Staples. It received positive reviews from the critics while topping the US Billboard 200 charts.
