The description reads: “This is the first-ever pressing of The Fall-Off. 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.”

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.”

“Everything is supposed to go away eventually,” the narrator begins. “You see this especially in show business with famous actors or musicians. And it’s like, ‘Oh, this guy used to be famous, and then he fell off. What happened?'”

“And they want to point to, ‘They did this and this and they made some sort of mistake.’ Instead of thinking that, look, it’s kinda crazy they got famous in the first place. So few people reach that level that yes, of course, it’s not gonna last forever because somebody else has to take that spot,” they continue. “And that’s how show business has been since forever. But no, they always want to say, ‘That guy fell off.’ They want to look down on him for just going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.”

Who Is Featured On The Fall-Off?

Social media users are weighing in on the trailer on Twitter/X and making their feelings known. So far, most agree that it has them more eager than ever to hear what’s to come. “Life is good again,” one fan claims. “DA GOAT IS BACK,” another writes. Someone else simply says, “Come save hip hop man [prayer emoji].”

The release of The Fall-Off will follow 2021’s The Off-Season and 2024’s Might Delete Later. Vinyl is available for pre-order now. The album was previously rumored to be dropping by surprise this month, which ultimately didn’t pan out. Mal of the Rory & Mal Podcast also recently blamed delays on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s infamous feud.

“Yes, Kendrick was on the album, and Drake was on the album,” he claimed. “Well, was, which is why we didn’t get the album, cause now he gotta do his whole album over.” For now, it remains a mystery whether or not either of them will still appear on the album.

“I wasn’t zesty when my d*ck was in your mouth. Wasn’t nothing zesty,” Blueface said after watching the clip on his livestream. “Balls all on your forehead.”

Blueface originally confirmed his split from Hazel in a video on social media, describing her as “too old” for him. She is 45 years old, while he is just 28. “I’m officially letting Hazel go from the roster. Hazel-E, you are too old to be acting this young. We’re done,” he said at the time. “I’d rather be with a young b*tch.”

She fired back by bringing up his criminal history in a clip of her own. “I’m too old? You’re a convicted felon. Let’s start there,” she said, as caught by Live Bitez. “I went below to f*ck with you. We could put out the receipts. You bought me flights before, you’ve given me money before. You just sent me five bands the other day telling me to stay down so I can put up with your f*ck sh*t? That’s not enough. It’s really not enough, honey.”

More recently, Blueface has been dating Nevaeh Akira. The two were first spotted together at his King of Crabs restaurant in L.A. in December. At the time, fans believed he was still in a relationship with Hazel-E.

Later that month, fans theorized that Akira was pregnant with her and Blueface’s first child. Before the start of their relationship, Blueface had written on X (formerly Twitter) about wanting to get someone pregnant. “Part of growing up is realizing both my Bm’s is mid smh I need to get some bad b*tches pregnant asap,” he posted.

“Ye and Carti did charity by putting this dude on the song and he still dropped the most forgettable verse,” one critic writes. “N***a Ye gave you your first #1 ever. What kind of drugs you on,” another asks. Someone else simply says, “LMAOOO.” At the time of writing, it’s unclear exactly what prompted Rich The Kid’s controversial post. Ye has not publicly responded to his claims.

While Rich The Kid thinks “Carnival” could be the Chicago rapper’s last No. 1, he does have more music on the way. Earlier this month, for example, he added a pre-save link for his upcoming album Bully to his official YouTube channel.

Before that, he began selling vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and box sets on his website, along with grills inspired by the cover art. Ye also unveiled a tracklist for Bully, which features songs like “Preacher Man,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Last Breath,” “White Lines,” and more. It was even recently announced that he didn’t use artificial intelligence on the album despite fans’ concerns.

“(There) is no AI on bully,” Pete Jideonwo declared in a tweet. Milo Yiannopoulos, Yeezy’s former Chief of Staff, later went on to confirm this on Twitter/X.

So far, roughly 500,000 people have pre-saved Bully on Spotify. This makes it the fourth-most pre-saved album on the platform for the time being. It follows Joji’s Piss In The Wind, Gorillaz’s The Mountain, and the Wuthering Heights soundtrack by Charli xcx. It’s slated for release on January 30, 2026.

The release date announcement was paired with a gorgeous trailer in which Cole looks as contemplative as ever. He can be seen eating in a diner, with a narration reflecting on the concept of “falling off.” Overall, this is perfectly in line with the album’s title, and you can’t help but feel as though this might be Cole’s magnum opus.

He is looking to make a concept record, and if he pulls it off, then it might just be the highlight of what has already been an illustrious career. Having said that, this is also a huge moment for the artist, who has previously stated that this might just be his final project.

The trailer ends with a snippet of one of the songs, and quite frankly, it sounds amazing. From the rapping to the production, Cole looks to be on another level here.

Of course, there is still a lot that we do not know about this project. For the most part, Cole likes to keep things under wraps. Who is on the project? Will there be big features? Is there going to be a lead single? These are all things that we are still asking ourselves right now.

J. Cole Continues To Leave Us Guessing

Just last week, there were rumors that Cole was going to drop this album out of nowhere, on January 9th. In the end, a surprise release never happened, and fans were upset to have been led astray.

Ironically enough, the album was actually on the way all along. However, it’s coming out about a month later. Considering the fact that A$AP Rocky drops this week, this is clearly an exciting few weeks for hip-hop.

We simply cannot wait to dive into all of these albums.

“You dance around it, and that’s why I lose respect for you,” Holcomb said. “When you start dancing and kissing caucasians males’ asses. Don’t do that in front of me because I’m not an ass kisser of nobody.”

From there, Daniels fired back by accusing Holcomb of “sucking the d*ck of Black people.” “You doing the easy sh*t,” he argued. Holcomb then got up and sat in Daniels’ face to shut down the claim.

“You doing this for the internet,” Daniels fired back. “If you wanna say, ‘Anton, don’t disrespect me like that,’ I’ll respect you. But, don’t boss up on me because you said a lot of sh*t to me today that I don’t f*ck with either. I let that sh*t ride because you don’t know me. So, I’m gonna extend the same respect to you. You called me out on my name.” Tempers quickly flared back up when Holcomb denied being disrespectful, and Daniels stormed out of his chair.

Daniels eventually returned to his chair and said they could get back to the conversation they were having earlier. “You not that tough,” he concluded, as Holcomb reiterated that he’s not gay.

Fans have been sharing plenty of takes on the situation as clips of the moment have been going viral online. “He asked em to out back & he wasn’t with it. He picked up the mic. All bark no bite,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another remarked: “Homophobia in its highest form.” One more wrote: “I ain’t goin lie big Corey all talk man, I salute the Anton dude bro was with whatever, ain’t have to get loud, real calm in his button down.”
