The Fall-Off

Summary

The Fall-Off is the seventh and final studio album by American rapper J. Cole. Released through Cole World, Dreamville Records, and Interscope Records on February 6, 2026, it was marketed as Cole's final album. It started development in 2016 and was first publicly teased in 2018. An unspecified event c. 2024, interpreted by various publications to be the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud, inspired Cole to expand the concept, resulting in a double album. The Fall-Off tells the story of two visits to Cole's home city of Fayetteville, North Carolina, once at age twenty-nine and again at age thirty-nine.
