The single arrived alongside a message to fans about the process of creating the album as a whole.

“For the past 10 years, this album has been hand crafted with one intention: a personal challenge to myself to create my best work,” it begins. “To do on my last what I was unable to do on my first. I had no way of knowing how much time, focus and energy it would eventually take to achieve this, but despite the countless challenges along the way, I knew in my heart I would one day get to the finish line. I owed it first and foremost to myself. And secondly, I owed it to hip hop.”

When Is J. Cole Dropping The Fall-Off?

In the song, Cole tells his life story in reverse, a concept mirrored by the accompanying music video. Social media users have a lot to say about the track, and it looks like most are far from disappointed.

This may f*ck around and be the greatest album of the 2020s,” one fan writes. “Bro is so good at rap he has to tell his life story backwards The way the video also rewinds in time… damn,” another says. Someone else simply asks, “THE FALL OFF IS A DOUBLE ALBUM?”

Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Courtney Rossel, previously accused him of attacking her at a gentlemen’s club in Miami Gardens. She detailed the alleged incident in a lawsuit at the time, claiming he grabbed her by the back of her head and neck and dragged her into a parking garage, where he physically assaulted her.

Miami Gardens Police Department executive officer Emmanuel Jeanty confirmed news of the warrant at a press conference on Wednesday. He said that the MGPD is working alongside the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force to find the WBA lightweight champion.

“At this time, the Miami Gardens Police Department is actively working with the United States Marshal’s fugitive task force to locate and apprehend Mr. Davis,” Jeanty said. “Domestic violence is a serious crime, and the Miami Gardens Police Department remains committed to holding offenders accountable and protecting victims.”

He added that police have been investigating the incident since Rossel filed her lawsuit. “The investigation determined that Mr. Davis used force to restrain in an attempt to remove the victim from the location against her will,” Jeanty said.

Rossel originally filed her lawsuit against Davis back in October. In her filing, she accused him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Responding to the arrest warrant, Rossel’s attorney, Jeff Chukwuma, told ESPN: “What the police said is exactly in line with our lawsuit. So whatever investigation they did, they determined it was enough to get a judge to sign off on an arrest warrant. The state attorney had to make the determination before, which coincides exactly with our civil complaint.”

As of Wednesday afternoon, Gervonta Davis has yet to turn himself in to authorities.

Fierce is known for working alongside Drake on songs like “Push Ups,” “Family Matters,” and more. Of course, this has led to some speculation among social media users about what this could mean. Many believe this is a sign that Fierce had a hand in the production of the album. Some even think Drake himself might make an appearance.

Obviously, this is unconfirmed, though it isn’t the only sign pointing to his potential involvement. During a recent podcast, Mal of Rory & Mal claimed that Cole originally had features from both Drake and Kendrick Lamar on the album. Allegedly, this meant he had to re-record the album due to their beef.

“Yes, Kendrick was on the album, and Drake was on the album,” he explained. “Well, was, which is why we didn’t get the album, cause now he gotta do his whole album over.” As for whether or not either of them will make the final cut, that remains to be seen.

An exclusive vinyl edition of the album is available for pre-order now.

“This is the first-ever pressing of The Fall-Off,” the product description begins. “This limited edition was assembled under the strongest security measures possible in hopes to preserve the reveal of album artwork and music until the moment they were intended to be released. Production demanded full scale, around-the-clock security in multiple facilities across North America to provide the best chance of success. With special packaging modifications, we are calling this first pressing the ‘Stealth Edition,’ and it will be the only time the album will be available in this form.”

His team was trailing by 18 points in the second half, but they rallied to come back and win 31-27.

“True belief,” Williams said afterward, according to ESPN. “Belief. That’s all you need. You got belief in the coaches that they’re gonna call the right play at the right time. You got belief in the players on the field that you’re gonna make the right play at the right time.”

As for the Rams, they’ll be coming off a win over the Carolina Panthers in which they were tested until the very end. They held out to win 34-31.

When Is J. Cole Releasing “The Fall-Off”?

The vinyl news comes after J. Cole announced the release date for The Fall-Off on Wednesday afternoon. Sharing a trailer for the project, he confirmed that it will be arriving on February 6.

In the clip, a narrator speaks about longevity in the entertainment industry. “Everything is supposed to go away eventually,” he says as Cole cleans his car. “Especially in show business with famous actors or musicians. It’s like, ‘This guy used to be famous and then he fell off.’ They want to point this, this and this and they made this mistake.”

The narrator continues: “So few people reach that level and yes, of course, it’s not gonna last forever because somebody else has to take that spot and that’s how show business has been forever. But no, they want to say that guy fell off, they want to look down on him for going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.”

Cole also gave fans a glimpse at the cover artwork on social media. It shows a recording setup on a wooden desk.

Why Was Kurupt Hospitalized?

Daz didn’t share any more details in his post, leaving fans in the dark about what led to Kurupt’s hospitalization. He’ll continue to recover from the comfort of his own home with the support of countless fans and peers. This includes Royce Da 5’9″, Treach, Goodie Mob’s Khujo Goodie, and more. Kurupt hasn’t publicly commented on the situation.

He has struggled with some health issues in the past, however. In 2019, for example, he was taken to the hospital after relapsing on the set of Marriage Boot Camp. Alcohol was banned from the set for the rest of the season as a result.

In 2022, he opened up about battling alcoholism during an interview with VladTV, admitting that it took a serious toll on his health. “My pancreas, my liver and my kidneys were just all messed up,” he explained. “I had this sharp pain in my abdomen, I could barely walk. I had to hunch over and I still had to perform and do shows.”
