Now, with the official announcement of the tracklist which highlights 12 tracks features came from 21 Savage, Lil Baby, and Morray. production coming from Boi-1da, Timbaland, T-Minus, Jake One, DJ Dahi & more.
The album’s intro and closing tracks are handled by Toronto producer Boi-1da, who has worked with Drake, Rihanna, and others, while fellow Toronto native Maneesh also appears on the production credits. J. Cole usually prefers to keep his production in-house, so this is a departure for him.
The RIAA has recognized all five of J. Cole’s studio albums as platinum. The final three—2014 Forest Hills Drive, 4 Your Eyez Only, and KOD—have been dubbed “platinum with no features.” Cole remarked on the meme in a 2019 GQ story with Allison P. Davis: “I was enjoying it.” “I was like, ‘Word up—this is hilarious as hell.'” But after the second or third time, I was like, ‘OK, it’s almost humiliating now.’ ‘All right, dude, you’re going to make me put a feature on the record just so this stuff will stop,’” he says.
Cole had a hectic week leading up to the release of The Off-Season. According to reports, he signed a deal with Rwanda’s Patriots to play three to six games in the Basketball Africa League, the first of which is on Sunday.
