It looks like J. Cole's The Off-Season could be dropping in a couple of weeks

Yesterday (29 April) US rapper Bas reportedly posted (and has since deleted) a picture of J. Cole on his Instagram with the caption: "The Off-Season. Pack your bags. In two weeks."

The Off-Season was confirmed as a release in J. Cole's schedule back in December last year, after the rapper shared an image of his notebook which had a list called 'The Fall Off Era', and he had already crossed out the word 'features' and 'ROTD3' (his Dreamville compilation album Revenge of the Dreamers III).

J. Cole's next thing on his to-do list was The Off-Season, and although he hasn't confirmed exactly what it is, fans are hoping that it'll contain new music.

Going by last year's list, his highly-anticipated album The Fall Off is his final music-related project on his list before he potentially retires. The rapper first discussed retiring back in July as part of his The Audacity essay, which saw him write, "On my career bucket list, there remain a few more items to check off before I give myself permission to enter whatever the next chapter of my life may be. However, as I approach the summit of this mountain, I still find myself staring at that other one in the distance, wondering if I can climb."
