J. Cole<\/a>\u2018s new album The Fall-Off is officially around the corner.<\/p>\n

Catching the hip-hop world by surprise on Wednesday (January 14), the Dreamville rap star announced that his long-awaited seventh album will be released on February 6 \u2014 just over three weeks away.<\/p>\n

The news came via a short cinematic trailer that narrates the concept behind the title and also includes a snippet of an unreleased song.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is supposed to go away eventually,\u201d a voice says over shots of J. Cole cleaning his Lamborghini at a car wash and eating a meal on his own at a diner. \u201cYou see this especially in show business with famous actors or musicians. And it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, this guy used to be famous and then he \u2018fell off.\u2019 What happened?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they want to point to, \u2018They did this and this and they made some sort of mistake.\u2019 Instead of thinking that, look, it\u2019s kinda crazy they got famous in the first place. So few people reach that level that yes, of course, it\u2019s not gonna last forever because somebody else has to take that spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s how show business has been since forever. But no, they always want to say, \u2018That guy fell off.\u2019 They want to look down on him for just going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video closes out with a 30-second preview of a hard-hitting, southern-flavored track on which Cole raps: \u201cPicture my soul climbing out of the infinite hole \/ Where n*ggas die over pride and live for the\u201d \u2014 before it cuts off in a flurry of gunshot sounds.<\/p>\n
