After much anticipation, J. Cole returns with the first offering from his upcoming sixth studio album
The Off-Season. On “i n t e r l u d e,” the Dreamville boss warms up for the main event with a two-minute teaser, which he produced with T-Minus and Tommy Parker.
“This shit can go one of two ways / This shit can go up, it can go down / Either way, ni a, I’m prepared,” Cole raps over the soulful instrumental before boasting about his numbers. “Cole World, ni as knowin’ what it is / Just in case they don’t, I show ’em what it is / In summer, I do real numbers / Couldn’t dare touch it if they sold a double disc.”
Nearly a year ago, J. Cole released his two-song stimulus package,
Lewis Street, which contained tracks The Climb Back and Lion King on Ice. Since then, fans have been yearning for new Cole and it s finally here.
On Friday (May 7), the Dreamville Records founder delivered a new single called Interlude. The offering is the first joint to arrive from Cole s upcoming album
The Off-Season, due to arrive on May 14.
The new song is produced by T-Minus, Cole and Tommy Parker, and finds Jermaine coming out hard with a melodious flow over the sample-driven track. I be comin in peace, but fuck me, best beware/The others is shit deep, under covers creep, Cole flows. This Southern heat make unbearable summers/Just last week seen your momma weep/Crying cause she don t wanna bury your brother/The blood leaks while the EMT s gotta carry hеr baby like surrogate mothers.
It has been a long time since we last heard from J. Cole over wax. In July of last year, the Carolina Prophet released a two-pack called
Lewis Street EP, which included “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice.” Cole said that they were the “first two songs from
The Fall Off” and lit the flame of fans worldwide. Now, one week away from the fabled album that Cole teased in an Instagram post months ago, “The Fall Off Era” is finally about to begin.
Cole announced the release of
The Off-Season on the 14-year anniversary of his debut mixtape,
