J. Cole has been busy balancing being a father and a husband while also working on new music and running his recently-launched blog – but he’s doing his best to manage it all.
Taking to the site in a new blog post this week, Cole admitted that he hasn’t been tending to his site as much as he should because of all of his other commitments.
“I knowwww mannnn. I’m off to a bad start with the consistency, but I’ma do better! Watch!!” he assured his readers. “I been locked in on the music while also balancing family life. It’s a juggling act that a blog post wouldn’t do justice in explaining. But with that said, I’m back tending to this garden. I think I’m gonna let some other people post on here too, to get the vibes up.”
He continued: “It’ll motivate me to check every day, and will fuel the desire to post more. I’ma start with Ib and Scott and then expand from there. To anybody in the squad reading, if you trying to contribute I’m taking applications!”
Just a few hours before he celebrated his 40th birthday, the Dreamville rapper launched his blog on January 27 under the banner of The Algorithm.
In his first post, he signed off by promising “2025 will be a good one,” which fans were hoping meant that he will be dropping his next album, The Fall Off.
He previously suggested that the long-awaited project would arrive ahead of the fifth and final iteration of Dreamville Festival, which takes place in April.
At his 10th anniversary 2014 Forest Hills Drive concert at Madison Square Garden in December, Cole told the audience in attendance: “I’ll see y’all at Dreamville Festival. Hopefully I’ll have something new to perform for y’all.”
However, in his second post, Cole denied that he is in album rollout mode and explained that the blog is simply a place for him to share things that he likes.
“Ib told me some people was thinking this blog meant an album was about to drop,” he said, referring to his longtime manager Ibrahim Hamad. “Nahhh. Not exactly.
“When it’s time for something you will know. This is not that. I just wanted a place to share documentaries I be watching on YouTube and songs I fuck with.”
Whenever it may come, The Fall Off will serve as the follow-up to 2021’s The Off-Season and is rumored to be J. Cole’s final album.
