North Carolina rapper J. Cole has formally announced that The Fall-Off, his upcoming full-length album, will be available on February 6, 2026. The album is a double-disc experience.

The album starts with the video for Disc 2’s – Track 2, in which J. Cole raps his life story backwards. From his old age regrets to his ascension from childbirth.

The project includes nostalgic cover art featuring a 1990s bedroom desk filled with CDs, a MIDI keyboard, cereal boxes, and houseplants. It alludes to the rapper’s early years and creative setting. This is a handcrafted project Cole has been working on for the past two decades, reflected in the details.

An intro voiceover hints that The Fall-Off may be Cole’s last full-length album, indicating a possible change in his professional focus. Limited-edition vinyl copies are now available for pre-order for $49.99, giving fans a physical memento of the rapper’s legacy.

The Fall-Off promises to be a significant album that is both a personal biography and a turning point in J. Cole’s discography, thanks to its innovative storytelling, introspective narrative, and ten-year creative process.
