J. Cole is dropping "The Fall-Off" next week, but first, he is here with a new set of freestyles called "Birthday Blizzard '26."

After some information leaked suggesting that J. Cole would be dropping some freestyles tomorrow, the artist has come through for fans this evening. Birthday Blizzard '26 is a collection of four freestyles, hosted by DJ Clue. The songs can be bought over on Cole's website, where fans can pay whatever they wish.

Cole could not have come through with a better way to get the hype for his new album started.
