Following Bas‘ now-deleted preview of The Off-Season’s release, J. Cole himself took to social media to tease that the project could actually be dropping soon.

The Dreamville head shared a cryptic message via Instagram Story that read “Just rode through the city to The Off-Season. Dawg… Too excited.” He didn’t share the official release date nor acknowledge the earlier statement from Bas, but it seems like there could be some truth to the rumor that the highly-anticipated project is releasing in about two weeks.

The Off-Season was initially announced in late December 2020 as part of what looked to be a list of albums and other projects that fall under The Fall Off era. Leading the list were “Features” and Revenge of the Dreamers III — the latter already dropped in July 2019 — then The Off-Season, It’s A Boy and, finally, The Fall Off. ”I still got some goals I gotta check off for’ I scram…” Cole captioned the post.

Elsewhere in music, the Recording Academy has officially voted to disband the “secret” GRAMMY nominations committees.
