J. Cole wanted to clarify what he means by his upcoming album title.

J Cole is a rapper who has a tremendous amount of respect from his peers. Overall, that respect is well-deserved. After all, he is one of the best rappers in the game right now. Moreover, he has delivered classic albums, mixtapes, and songs. Furthermore, he has been on a very nice feature run as of late. He was just on a track with Lil Yachty, and he even got to be on "First Person Shooter" with Drake. Simply put, Cole is a name that is not going away, even if you are one of the few who despise him.

In fact, soon, Cole will supposedly be releasing a new album called The Fall Off. In the eyes of many, this is a pretty ironic name given the fact that he hasn't actually fallen off yet. Instead, one could say he is near the top of his game. He continues to deliver great music and has captured the attention of millions. However, as he told Yachty on the A Safe Place podcast, there is a good reason behind the name. It all has to do with a conversation he once had with himself.

J. Cole Explains Himself

Essentially, Cole started to find himself losing a bit of his edge. It led to him questioning himself and his hunger for succes. “Oh, you lost a step in this regard,” Cole reasoned with himself. “I had a real talk with myself… ‘You made it to where you wanted to make it to. Do you wanna keep going or do you just want to chill and go start a family? Do you want to retire right now?'” It seems like Cole has regained that step, although his album title serves as a reminder of how he once caught that slippage.

Hopefully, we get a timetable in regards to this album, sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think of this upcoming project name, in the comments section below.
