Hip-hop fans were in for a treat Thursday night as acclaimed rapper J. Cole dropped a surprise album titled “Might Delete Later.” This unexpected release marks Cole’s seventh studio album and his first since the critically acclaimed “The Off-Season” in 2021. With 12 tracks boasting a total runtime of 43 minutes, the album showcases Cole’s signature lyrical prowess and features exciting collaborations with artists such as Ari Lennox, Gucci Mane, and Cam’ron.
Cole, known for his thought-provoking lyrics and introspective style, has long been regarded as one of the leading voices in hip-hop music. His previous release, “The Off-Season,” not only achieved commercial success but also earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, further solidifying his position in the industry.
The surprise album drop comes at a time of heightened tension in the hip-hop community, with Cole recently sparking controversy by proclaiming himself, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar as the “big three” rappers. Lamar swiftly responded, dismissing the notion of a “big three” and asserting his individual prowess with the statement, “just big me.”
On the closing track “Seven Minute Drill,” Cole appears to address Lamar directly, offering critical commentary on his fellow rapper’s career trajectory with the line “He still doing shows, but fell off like the Simpson’s.”
Despite the playful banter, Cole remains focused on his craft and upcoming projects. At 39 years old, he continues to push boundaries and inspire a new generation of artists. This Sunday, Cole is set to headline the Dreamville Fest music festival in his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, where he will be joined by a stellar lineup including SZA, Nicki Minaj, and 50 Cent.
Beyond his own music, Cole’s influence extends to his Dreamville Records label, which has nurtured talents such as Ari Lennox, JID, and Bas, further cementing his legacy in the hip-hop landscape.
With “Might Delete Later,” J. Cole once again proves why he is considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip-hop music. As fans eagerly dive into the album’s tracks, one thing is clear: Cole’s artistic journey is far from over, and he continues to shape the future of the genre alongside icons like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Gucci Mane.
