J. Cole dropped his sixth studio album, The Off-Season, on Friday but with a special surprise for NBA fans and players. It ain t nothing I want more. Ain t nothing I want more, Lillard said after Portland s victory. I told you when I first came here, I ain t come here to waste my time. They gave us a chance to get in like we asked for and that s what we re here to do.
But J. Cole, who is standing in front of a burning basketball hoop on the album cover, didn t stop there with the NBA references.
The 36-year-old name-dropped several stars on the album, including LeBron James on track 100 Mil ( Can t leave the game yet, I feel like LeBron ), Russell Westbrook on Amari ( Kill em on a song, walk up out the booth, do the Westbrook rock-a-baby ) and Ja Morant on My Life ( Ja Morant, I m on my Grizzly ).
J. Cole is back like he never left with ‘The Off-Season’
The Real is back, the Ville is back, Hollywooders!
J. Cole has released his much anticipated sixth studio album and, once again, he did not disappoint.
Ever since May 4, when
J. Col
The Off-Season, fans have analyzed his every move in anticipation of new music. And
J. Cole gave us plenty to freak out about in the past 10 days.
First, he surprisingly dropped “i n t e r l u d e,” the lead single from
The Off-Season. This was big because ever since his 2014 album,
2014 Forest Hills Drive, the North Carolina rapper rarely drops singles before his albums.
