Well, that took a while. J. Cole just announced that he’s dropping a new album, titled The Off-Season, in May no less.
The North Carolina rapper took to Twitter and Instagram to announce the new project will be out Friday, May 14.
“Just know this was years in the making. My new album The Off-Season available everywhere 5/14,” reads the caption of the album’s cover. Cole is seen forward in the photo while behind him is a burning basketball hoop.
Are his hoop dreams officially a wrap? Is a nod to the cross-burning racism of the KKK in his native state? Late last year. ,the guy was even hinting at retirement. Guess we’ll find out when we get a listen.
J. Cole’s last proper album, KOD, was released in 2018.
This story is developing.
