Nearly five years have separated fans of J. Cole from his last studio album, ‘The Off-Season,’ but the wait for its follow-up is set to come to a close on February 6.

Titled ‘The Fall-Off,’ news of the double-disc project sent his supporters into a frenzy when it was announced Tuesday (January 14).

To send that frenzy into overdrive, Cole followed by lifting the lid on the official music video of its first single: ‘Disc 2 Track 2.’

“The cameras be snappin’, blogs be yappin’, so I’m careful, alert / Walkin’ to my section, whisper right in my ear, we flirt / We part ways / I see it from a distance, she stares with a smirk / Cheers to the perks with the squad / We live for the search of new hoes / Lusty, quick to fuck me, unaware of their worth,” he raps DZL and Maneesh production.

“Love ain’t never fifty-fifty / It’s whatever I got in me / And in you, I got a partner / Love you just how you are / Baby, even if you only got / Twenty for my eighty / Ain’t no maybe / We’ll make it to 100,” she croons over Mustard and Keanu Beats production.
