Cole Drops New Single From \u2018The Fall-Off,\u2019 Hints At Double Album"},"content":{"rendered":"

J. Cole has released the first single from The Fall-Off<\/em>, just hours after announcing the album.<\/p>\n

Uploaded under the title “The Fall-Off… Disc 2 Track 2” — a hint that his forthcoming (and final) project could be a double disc effort — the song is a storytelling masterpiece that would make Nas proud.<\/p>\n

Taking inspiration from Esco’s “Rewind,” the North Carolina native lays out his life story in reverse over soulful, southern-fried production from DZL and Maneesh — touching on his death, legacy, parenthood, marriage, career milestones and eventually his birth.<\/p>\n

“My grandkids carried the coffin to the altar as they burst into tears from their shirts \/ The tears rise to the sides of they face and into their eyes, it’s piercin’ with hurt \/ Fast forward 60 years, I got vers\u0435 of the year, my purpose is cl\u0435ar, it’s to murk \/ Whoever dare flirt with death, the best alive and what you now hear is the work,”<\/em> Cole spits, his confidence clearly undented by the backlash to his decision to bow out of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef.<\/p>\n

Bringing the autobiographical song to life is a clever video from director Ryan Doubiago, which moves in reverse through different rooms to capture J. Cole’s reflective rhymes.<\/p>\n

“The Fall-Off… Disc 2 Track 2” ends with a bonus snippet of an unreleased song — presumably from The Fall-Off<\/em> — which uses the same Whispers sample as Mobb Deep‘s 1996 2Pac diss song “Drop a Gem On ‘Em.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the video is a message explaining the concept behind The Fall-Off<\/em>, which is set to arrive on February 6 and is being billed as J. Cole’s final album.<\/p>\n

“For the past 10 years, this album has been hand crafted with one intention: a personal challenge to myself to create my best work. To do on my last what I was unable to do on my first,” the Dreamville rap star wrote.<\/p>\n

“I had no way of knowing how much time, focus and energy it would eventually take to achieve this, but despite countless challenges along the way, I knew in my heart I would one day get to the finish line. I owed it first and foremost to myself. And secondly, I owed it to hip hop.”<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday (January 14), Cole officially announced The Fall-Off<\/em> through a short but cinematic trailer which provides some further insight into the long-awaited album.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is supposed to go away eventually,\u201d a voice says over shots of Cole cleaning his Lamborghini at a car wash and eating a meal on his own at a diner. \u201cYou see this especially in show business with famous actors or musicians. And it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, this guy used to be famous and then he \u2018fell off.\u2019 What happ<\/a>ened?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they want to point to, \u2018They did this and this and they made some sort of mistake.\u2019 Instead of thinking that, look, it\u2019s kinda crazy they got famous in the first place. So few people reach that level that yes, of course, it\u2019s not gonna last forever because somebody else has to take that spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s how show business has been since forever. But no, they always want to say, \u2018That guy fell off.\u2019 They want to look down on him for just going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.\u201d<\/p>\n
