J. Cole is back and he’s on album mode. Less than an hour after he teased the news to come with a tweet, J. Cole has announced today that his highly anticipated sixth studio album will be entitled The Off-Season and it will arrive on May 14, 2021.
The cover art, shown above, along with the title mark the return to placing Cole in a sporting setting (and more specifically, basketball) as was seen in previous projects like 2011’s Cole World: The Sideline Story and 2009’s The Warm Up.
Cole also shared across social media that “this was years in the making,” so you better believe he’s got something dope planned.
Is this thing on
