J. Cole’s Album The Fall Off—When Will It Drop?
While fans have been hyped for The Fall Off, Cole hasn’t rushed the process. Last month, he reassured them that he’s still fully locked in on the music while balancing family life. “I knowwww mannnn. I’m off to a bad start with the consistency, but I’ma do better! Watch!!” he wrote on his blog. “I’ve been locked in on the music while also balancing family life. It’s a juggling act, but I’m back tending to this garden.”
Hip-Hop Drama: J. Cole vs. The Rap Game
Despite staying out of the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole hasn’t been completely drama-free. Freddie Gibbs appeared to diss him on his new song “The Big 2”, referencing Cole’s previous apology for getting involved in the K.Dot vs. Drizzy feud. Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky is taking a neutral stance, rapping that he isn’t choosing sides between Drake, Kendrick, or Cole.
Regardless of any rap beefs, one thing is certain—Dreamville Festival 2025 will be a once-in-a-lifetime event, and The Fall Off might just be J. Cole’s biggest album yet.
