The release date announcement was paired with a gorgeous trailer in which Cole looks as contemplative as ever. He can be seen eating in a diner, with a narration reflecting on the concept of “falling off.” Overall, this is perfectly in line with the album’s title, and you can’t help but feel as though this might be Cole’s magnum opus.
He is looking to make a concept record, and if he pulls it off, then it might just be the highlight of what has already been an illustrious career. Having said that, this is also a huge moment for the artist, who has previously stated that this might just be his final project.
The trailer ends with a snippet of one of the songs, and quite frankly, it sounds amazing. From the rapping to the production, Cole looks to be on another level here.
Of course, there is still a lot that we do not know about this project. For the most part, Cole likes to keep things under wraps. Who is on the project? Will there be big features? Is there going to be a lead single? These are all things that we are still asking ourselves right now.
J. Cole Continues To Leave Us Guessing
Ironically enough, the album was actually on the way all along. However, it’s coming out about a month later. Considering the fact that A$AP Rocky drops this week, this is clearly an exciting few weeks for hip-hop.
We simply cannot wait to dive into all of these albums.
