The Fall-Off is the upcoming seventh studio album by the American rapper J. Cole. It will be released on February 6, 2026, through Dreamville Records and Interscope Records.
J. Cole began teasing The Fall-Off via "1985 (Intro to The Fall Off)", the final track of his 2018 album KOD . He continued to tease it following KOD's release, commonly through his Kill Edward alter ego. [1] On July 20, 2020, Cole wrote in The Players' Tribune about his goals for The Fall-Off:
The fire that was once dying out has returned, and for that I'm grateful. 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. [2]
In 2018, Cole revealed his 2016 singles "False Prophets" and "Everybody Dies" were recorded for The Fall-Off. [3] In 2020, he released the EP Lewis Street , which included two singles, "The Climb Back" and "Lion King On Ice", that were intended for inclusion on The Fall-Off. On December 29, 2020, Cole shared a list, "The Fall Off Era", on Instagram. The list showed features and Revenge of the Dreamers III , The Off-Season , and It's a Boy, which he intended to release before The Fall-Off. [4]
On January 14, 2026, Cole released a trailer for The Fall-Off and announced it would be released on February 6, 2026. [5] [6] The same day, he released the single "Disc 2 Track 2", [7] implying that The Fall-Off would be a double album. [8]
