J. Cole – The Off-Season [Album Stream]

As promised, J. Cole has released his new studio album, “The Off-Season”.

“The Off-Season symbolizes the work that it takes to get to the highest height. The Off-Season represents the many hours and months and years it took to get to top form,” Cole says. “Just like in basketball, what you see him do in the court, that shit was worked on in the summertime. So for an athlete, if they take their career seriously and if they really got high goals and want to chase them, the offseason is where the magic really happens, where the ugly shit really happens, where the pain happens, the pushing yourself to uncomfortable limits.” “It represents the practice, the training, the drills, the intensity, the craft. It represents pushing yourself,” he continues. “Even if all of the songs and the verses that were made during that time period can’t make The Off-Season, the project still embodies all of them. Once you get to the season, it’s too late to get better. You’ll get better naturally, but what you know is what you know. You’re getting that shit off in the offseason. So that’s really what it represents. It represents the time spent getting better and pushing.”

The 12-song offering comes equipped with guest spots from 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Morray and Cam’ron. Production is handled by Timbaland, Frank Dukes, Boi-1da, DJ Dahi, Jake One, Cole himself and more.
