J. Cole Sets 'The Fall-Off' for Feb. 6 With Cinematic Trailer

A reflective Instagram preview introduces the album’s concept and opens pre-orders for a tightly guarded ‘Stealth Edition’ vinyl.

Overview

  • The Dreamville rapper confirmed the February 6, 2026 release date through a short film posted on Instagram.
  • The trailer shows Cole in quiet, everyday settings with a voiceover on fame’s rise-and-fall cycle, then ends with a 30-second music snippet and gunshot sounds.
  • Cover art was unveiled alongside the announcement, and vinyl pre-orders include a first-pressing ‘Stealth Edition’ assembled under heightened security.
  • No tracklist, lead single, or features were disclosed, keeping details scarce as the rollout unfolds over just a few weeks.
  • The Fall-Off is presented as Cole’s seventh studio album and his first full-length since 2021’s The Off-Season, following 2024’s Might Delete Later.
