Is J. Cole hanging up his mic after releasing the upcoming album, The Fall Off?
He wrote in the caption, “I still got some goals I gotta check off for’ I scram…”
The post included a photo of a notebook with “The Fall Off Era” written across the top. Below the header, he wrote “Features,” “ROTD3” — which are both crossed out — “The Off Season,” “It’s A Boy” and “The Fall Off.”
Do you think J. Cole is retiring after The Fall Off?
