J Cole released his sixth studio album, <\/span>The Off-Season<\/span><\/i>, on May 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been three years since Cole released <\/span>KOD<\/span><\/i>, and though the rapper was featured on the Grammy-nominated compilation album <\/span>Revenge of the Dreamers III<\/span><\/i> in 2019 and he released three singles in 2020, it\u2019s fair to say <\/span>The Off-Season<\/span><\/i> has been eagerly anticipated by fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cole first teased the album back in Aug. 2018, when he <\/span>released a freestyle<\/span><\/span><\/a> titled <\/span>Album of the Year<\/span><\/i>. In both SoundCloud and a music video description, Cole wrote, \u201cThe Off Season coming soon\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Co-produced by Ibrahim Hamad, T-Minus and Cole, <\/span>The Off-Season<\/span><\/i>, pairs Cole with a host of collaborators, including 21 Savage, Timbaland, and Boi-1-Da, who supply some of the beats.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album is named after the common sports term, \u201coff-season,\u201d which is when an athlete has a break from the regular season but is still honing their skills and improving their game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the album, he tackles the trappings of fame in true Cole fashion delivering passionate verses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The twelve-track album starts off with <\/span>9 5. s o u t h<\/span><\/i>. Cam\u2019ron opens the track, to hype up listeners, as Cole raps about his success as a multi-hit and multi platinum artist. The song closes with a sample of Lil Jon\u2019s vocals from <\/span>Put Yo Hood Up<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

m y. l i f e <\/span><\/i>features<\/span> 21 Savage and Morray alongside Cole. They discuss the struggles of their respective come-ups and the benefits of their perseverance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They also talk about what their lives could have been like if they hadn\u2019t fought to make it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>\u00a0a p p l y i n g. p r e s s u r e <\/span><\/i>Cole exposes broke rappers for flaunting wealth they don\u2019t have. Something Cole has been known to do in his past work like in <\/span>KOD\u2019s 1984<\/span><\/i> where he warns up-and-coming rappers about the realities of the rap game and advises them on how to maintain success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

p r I d e. I s. t h e. d e v i l<\/span><\/i> addresses one of the seven deadly sins and how it affects people’s behavior. He also recognizes his good fortune in becoming popular and living longer than many of his peers.<\/span><\/p>\n

t h e . c l i m b . b a c k<\/span><\/i>, explores the nature of gun violence in America.<\/span><\/p>\n

c l o s e <\/span><\/i>features samples of MF DOOM\u2019s \u201c<\/span>Valerian Root<\/span><\/i>.” On this track Cole remembers a friend who turned to gang violence and drug habits which ultimately led to his death.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

h u n g e r. o n. h i l l s i d e<\/span><\/i>, explains how Cole can remain the same person no matter how successful he becomes. He realizes that the only way to preserve his identity is to remain true to himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Off-Season<\/span><\/i> is the epitome of true artistry. In it, Cole examines who he has turned into as a result of the environment he grew up in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cole isn\u2019t afraid to deliver relevant messages. As a result, the rawness in his music is what will never put him out of touch with his fans.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
