J. Cole may have billed The Fall-Off as his final album, but that doesn’t mean he’s hanging up his mic for good.
In a Q&A with fans on his Inevitable blog this week following the release of his latest LP, the Dreamville rapper shared an update on his future music plans, confirming that his long-awaited project It’s a Boy is still coming out.
“No it’s not scrapped. It will release,” he responded to one fan who asked about the status of the project, which was first teased by Cole back in 2020 as part of “The Fall-Off Era” (which also included Revenge of the Dreamers III, The Off-Season and, of course, The Fall-Off).
He added: “We almost put it out before the album. But with the Birthday Blizzard tape and 24-song album we was like it’s a lot of music to process.”
Cole also teased releasing leftover material from The Fall-Off, including alternate versions of the early fan-favorite “Legacy.”
When asked about the first song he recorded for the album, the North Carolina native replied: “The answer is Legacy. That song not only stood the test of time, it went through phases and got better and better with more love and attention.
“One day this year I plan to put the different iterations of that song on the blog, so people can hear how it progressed.”
Addressing his “A Plate of Collard Greens” collaborator Daylyt‘s recent comment that none of the Fall-Off tracks he previously heard (and loved) made the final cut, Cole said: “I only remember one joint he for sure heard. That’s still coming out. It was a lot of music recorded.”
J. Cole fans can also expect him to become a lot more active behind the boards as a producer for other artists, adding to a discography that already includes credits for Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Mac Miller and others.
“My passion and excitement right now is in producing,” he revealed during the Q&A session. “I wanna make beats, produce for other artists, even if I’m not making the beat. Just helping to craft the vision. That’s a big passion of mine.”
Despite the stash of new music he plans to put out, Cole has no plans to release another studio album — sticking to his original plan that The Fall-Off will be his final offering.
“I have no interest in making more ‘J. Cole’ albums,” he declared. “I will write, I will record when it hits me. Release new music if the spirit says to do so. But The Fall-Off is a project I won’t try to top.”
That is the gayest thing ever
No it’s not, I am
Yup Cole,Kendrick, Meg, Cardi, Bad Bunny, doe chi the plant welcome to modern music gay
Is he unsure he’s a boy I mean he looks like a tranny
Naw that’s wishful thinking likely from you. Damn Drake fans are fucking gay ass weirdos.
Excuse you what’s wrong with that? JCole is bi and Drake is in the closet along with Kendrick and Bad Bunny is the greatest rapper alive all gay hiphop is gay
Yeah modern hiphop women and woke activists ruined it
Did ya’ll catch that Bad Bunny Halftime Show ? With those beefcake men grinding their ball sacks onto each other? That was hot. That’s real music, not this crap
Bad bunny beat Kendrick viewership yup better than both Kendrick and JCole. Jay Z knows it too.
Yes. Bad Bunny is that dude… except when he’s wearing dresses
I just wish that I spoke Spanish and could understand what he was saying
Superior rapper trust me way better than this negrito
Yeah he was better than Kendrick actually beat his record and Jay Z knew it too. Bunny better than Kendrick and Cole the real future of music
Latinos invented rap that’s why the best rappers are Latino we run the culture not these people they hire Latinos to write their albums like Kendrick has we took over Cali, Chi, NYC, ATL, and Texas this is our land and culture
What’s your favorite dress that he wears? I like the pink one, with the pink boots. I bet you he had on pink panties too 🔥
Kendrick and American rappers hire Latinos to write for them you people have no talent never did
Bad bunny……. can’t say i’m a fan……… J. Cole…… Kendrick lamar…….. I was anticipating the new asap rocky album but that bombed like hell when it dropped………… So i guess i put my weight behind the new t.i. Album
ASAP charted. Personally not my music but he did have a number 1 and Don Toliver doing the same now personally liked his last album more. YoungBoy has the best album this year Slime Cry, Kevin Gates music I think is great, Fivio put out some bangers recently, Sosa putting out songs, 1900Rugrat sounds good, Kodak also good that leaked Bulletproof song was great, old heads I think vibe with French and Max B’s album, Yungeen Ace another one putting out good songs, TJay, and for TI IDK? Bad bunny is trash for woke people
If you combine all of his streams and sales, Drake has more sales than every musician in history combined. That goes for individual singers and groups combined, he beats them all. He’s sold more concert tickets than every musician in history combined too
Michael Jackson better and Drake streams bought. Ye better too.
