As the world awaits the release of his highly-anticipated sixth studio album The Off-Season, set to drop this Friday, J. Cole stopped by Power 106's L.A. Leakers to freestyle over a pair of rap classics: Mike Jones' “Still Tippin'” and Souls of Mischief's “93 'Til Infinity.” Cole led things off by rapping effortlessly over Souls of Mischief's hard-hitting classic, before bodying the beat of the Swishahouse crew's 2004 anthem “Still Tippin'.” The pair of freestyles arrive amid a busy week for Cole. After sharing “Interlude,” the first single from his upcoming album, last Friday, the 36-year-old North Carolina rapper kicked off this week with the release of his new documentary Applying Pressure: The Off-Season. Then, on Tuesday, he became the first rapper to grace the cover of Slam magazine, as he chopped it up with Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins and discussed where his mind is at as he prepares for what may or may not be the last leg of his music career. During the extensive interview, Cole explained the inspiration behind The Off-Season's title, comparing his career to that of a basketball player. “The Off-Season symbolizes the work that it takes to get to the highest height,” Cole explained. “The Off-Season represents the many hours and months and years it took to get to top form. Once you get to the season, it's too late to get better. You'll get better naturally, but what you know is what you know. You're getting that shit off in the off-season. So, that's really what [the title] represents. It represents the time spent getting better and pushing.” While acknowedging that he's entering a later stage of his career, Cole maintained that he has no plans of slowing down. “I'm doing all this work to be at peace with, if I never did another album, I'm cool,” he explained. “That's the reason for all of this, so I know that I put everything on the table. I left everything on the table, and I'm good with that. Because there's a lot of shit I want to do with my life and in my life that, because I have such an intense love and passion for the craft, if I don't let that go, I'm not going to be able to get to these other things that I also want to learn and grow and be good at.” SOURCE: Watch J.

Today on Episode 14 of Quarantine Radio, we make calls from our Upper West Side apartment to check in on Brandon Jinx Jenkins (creative/DJ/photographer/host of the Mogul podcast), Mouse Jones (co-host of the Guys Next Door podcast, host of Quarantine Nightly, and party host) and legendary Philadelphia rapper Freeway.

You might have seen this week’s Dropcast guest Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins on the late-night talk show State of the Culture where he serves as a co-host, speaking to your favorite celebrities on Conference Room H, or hosting Mogul, a hip hop podcast. He’s also accomplished in writing, photographing, and DJing, hailing from a career as a multimedia creative and journalist during his time at Complex. For The Dropcast’s 100th episode, Jinx shares thoughtful reflections on the state of culture from streetwear to Black History Month, and of course, this week’s hottest drops. After a quick but heavy roasting of Philipp Plein’s show which was accused of monetizing on the passing of Kobe Bryant, the quick hits take us into more Milan Fashion Week news. During a top secret press conference earlier this week, Raf Simons was officially confirmed as Co-Creative Director of Prada after a lengthy period of public speculation (3:58). On the topic of things that people will really want, Denim Tears has teamed up with Procell once again on a special T-shirt for the annual honoring of his mother’s passing, and all proceeds go towards the Every Mother Counts charity (5:14). Equally worth the anticipation is the red velvet pecan cake made from a recipe by Tremaine Emory’s late mother. This time, the cake is extra special, coming out in a box designed by Tom Sachs. Another new collab that’s telling a story is the Palace x adidas golf collection, which marks the former’s move into performance wear (9:26). Jian notes how there’s a cross-section between guys who chase the hype and hard core golfers while Jinx comments on the saturation of fashion into all the corners of life and culture. This takes the cast into an animated discussion about the intersection of sports, fashion, and what it takes to introduce style to the court and field. AWAKE alumni John Lopez has stepped into the playing field with his first drop of Ineverheardofyou, an independent venture featuring provocative customized Jordan 1s and a text-heavy trucker hat (14:20). Jinx taps into the ingenuity behind such a collection and its value for an up-and-coming brand. As February wraps up, Jinx reflects on the most memorable Black History Month moments including Matthew A. Cherry’s Best Animated Short film Oscar win, Calmatic taking home a Best Music Video Grammy for Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” and Tyler, the Creator’s many notable moments (29:55). You know the drill: look out for the next QOTW which will be posted on Highsnobiety’s Instagram, and make sure to leave a voicemail on The Dropcast hotline at 833-HIGHSNOB (833-444-4766) for a chance to be featured in a future episode.
