J. Cole’s 2021 Season is officially upon us.
While the Dreamville leader will be hooping it up with an African basketball squad when his sixth studio album The Off-Season is released, the tenured MC is allowing fans inside the project’s creation process with Applying Pressure: The Off-Season Documentary.
“This is the moment that a lot of your favorite rappers hit a crossroad,” J. Cole admitted in the teaser trailer while the album’s first single, “Interlude” served as the soundtrack.
“Are you okay with getting comfortable? Did you leave no stone unturned creatively?”
The film opens up with Cole explaining to his platinum collaborator 21 Savage on why he actually named the album The Off-Season. Scott Lazer serves as the director and Dreamville President Ibrahim Hamad and J. Cole himself are the doc’s executive producers.
The Off-Season is scheduled to be released on (Friday) May 14. Peep the Applying Pressure: The Off-Season Documentary below as the anticipation builds.
This motherfucker tryin act deep and shit… FOH! Everytime I gave a shot to his music hopin I was about to enjoy it I found out actually to be boring as fuck! He definitely can rhyme but he’s really boring to listen to. I won’t lie I’ll try for the twentieth time to listen to his music when his new album comes out hopin he’d stop with this boring stuff but somehow I’m pretty sure I’d disppointed again.
I swear i feel like this about K.R.I.T. He’s from my home town (Sipp), and is elite when it comes to rhyming, but his albums bore the hell out of me
Every time Cole is dropping an album, mothafuckers are complaining of his shit being boring but still listening to it again and again…
That’s the true power of good music!
Classic shit! LOL
They just give it a try hoping he would quit this boring shit. But everytime Cole proves them right: his music is boring. Don’t twist their words. No good music here.
I wonder what type of shit you’re calling fun…
Cole is doing a conscious rap of highest quality.
Luckily he’s keepin’ it real despite of that silly noise around.
Just to name a few: Big Krit, Currensy, Bas, Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul… they’re the living proof you can make “conscious rap of highest quality” without being boring
I agree on some names from the list you wrote.
As of the others, I couldn’t make it through their albums.
You see it ait’t no black and white. It depends on personal perception.
Tf you mean? Ab-soul is trash man. Dude is like 34 still acting “mysterious”. If that’s your thing cool but to say Cole is boring an Soul isn’t is a stretch hahahah
Yeah right and Cole is 36 still acting like he’s god’s given gift to the world with his so-called “rap for the conscious minds” foh!
Let’s hear your raps bud
Oh so you’re really idiot it’s not just a nickname… I’ve never pretended to be a rapper bozo. You’re just a waste of time to reply to.
I hope Kole got a K.r.i.t feature on this
2 of my top 3…KRIT is severely underrated.
