News of J. Cole's upcoming tracks arrive just over a week after Earthgang's Olu confirmed it was "coming" but experienced a delay due to coronavirus. He said, "Cole album gotta get through [U.S.] Customs [and Border Protection] ’cause you know, Corona."

The Fall Off will follow on from 2018's KOD album. Last month, J. Cole released new track "Snow On Tha Bluff" - his first release of 2020.
