The Off-Season marks Cole s first full-length LP since 2018 s
KOD, and it features the previously shared The Climb Back alongside songs titled Applying Pressure, Pride Is the Devil and Hunger on Hillside.
Production, meanwhile, comes courtesy of Timbaland, Frank Dukes, Boi-1da, DJ Dahi, Jake One, T-minus, Tae Beast, Cole himself and more.
In announcing
The Off-Season last week, J. Cole shared that his latest album was years in the making. He previously teased the LP on Instagram last December, as one project to see release in his Fall Off Era that will potentially culminate with retirement.
In the two years since he made his debut with
Everything’s For Sale, Westside boogie has kept his profile intact with his fair share of one-off freestyles and appearances on other buzzing efforts. His most recent appearance was on Love Renaissane’s Christmas compilation, hopping on “12 Days of Bhristmas” with OMB Bloodbath. But, just before the year’s end, he pops out with an official release, tapping Joey Bada$$ for the assist on his newest ‘Outside’ track.
The cut features production from a dynamic combo of Mike Lowry, Tae Beast & Rascal. On it, listeners can find Boogie and Joey framing their flow around traditional boasts of work ethic and a presentation on value proposition in Hip-Hop.
