Jermaine Cole, American rapper better known as J. Cole, has come through with ‘The Off-Season‘, his highly anticipated sixth studio album.
The project is coming a few days after the release of ‘Interlude‘, a promotional single off the album, to positive criticisms.
The 12-track album takes the usual pattern of the North Carolina rapper, with lyrics dwelling on germane issues, and rhymes intriguing enough to retain listeners’ attention.
The project is released under the umbrellas of Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s record label, and Dreamville Records, while its distribution is handled by Universal Music Distribution.
The 39-minute body of work includes tracks like ’95 South’, ‘Amari’, ‘My Life, ‘Applying Pressure’, ‘Punchin’ The Clock’, and ‘100 Mil’.
Others are ‘Pride is The Devil’, ‘Let Go My Hand’, ‘Interlude’, ‘The Climb Back’ and ‘Hunger on Hillsides’.
‘The Off Season’ comes on the back of the success recorded by ‘KOD’, his 2018 album, which carries an abbreviation that stands for “Kids on Drugs,” “King Overdose” and “Kill Our Demons.”
‘KOD’, his fifth studio album, was also characterized by powerful verses which often dwell on societal issues such as taxation, abuse of power, addiction, among others in the United States.
The Grammy-nominated rapper is well known for using his lyrics to address a range of contemporary issues across the world.
In 2019, the ‘Born Sinner’ had also worked with his team of independent artists to release ‘Revenge of The Dreamers III’, the third part of Dreamville’s project that includes label signees such as Lute, Cozz, Bas, JID and Omen.
