It's been over 1,000 days without a J. Cole solo project, but now the North Carolina rapper returns with his new album, The Off-Season. On Friday (May 14), Cole unleashed his first solo offering since 2018's KOD album. The Dreamville Records head honcho comes through with 12 songs including the previously released "Interlude." On the production side, Cole taps Timbaland, Boi-1da, DJ Dahi, Jake One and more. The LP has uncredited features from Lil Baby, 21 Savage and Morray on the song "My Life," which finds Morray singing a sample of Pharoahe Monch's rhymes from the 2002 track "The Life" with Styles P. Cole officially announced on May 4 that the LP would be dropping with an announcement shared to Instagram and Twitter. "My new album The Off-Season available 5/14. Just know this was years in the making," he wrote in the caption for his album artwork, which features himself standing next to an inflamed basketball hoop. The fiery court Cole is standing near could be metaphorically linked to the basketball themes the rhymer has used for past projects like The Warm Up, Friday Night Lights and The Sideline Story.

Johnny Venus and Doctor Dot formed Earthgang in high school but it wasn’t until recently that their music would make it into the ears of the mainstream. Over the past 10 years, the duo has dropped 3 albums, 4 EPS, 3 mixtapes, 4 compilation projects, and countless singles. But before they signed to J.Cole’s Dreamville Records (joining rappers such as Bas and college buddy J.I.D), the two were just a couple of kids attending open mic nights and paying $35 dollars a night to perform. But we’ll walk you through their entire story in this video.

They have a conversation about his journey from graphic design and advertising to the music industry, what it really means to be a creative director, communicating the vision of artists such as J. Cole and Ari Lennox, and what he finds most fulfilling about his role.

He discusses the influence of people pouring into him and coming into his own moving to New York. He goes into the power of manifesting that helped him realize who he was and the transformation of his mindset through being a world traveler. Ron Gilmore Jr is a musician, keyboardist, producer, and composer from Nashville, Tennessee. He is best known for his work as the keyboardist for Lauryn Hill and J. Cole’s performing bands, along with his production work on J. Cole’s certified platinum album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Gilmore was introduced to J. Cole during 2010 and was signed to Dreamville Records in 2014. He has also produced songs on Bas' Last Winter and Too High To Riot, and other Dreamville albums including Elephant Eyes, Revenge of The Dreamers II and others.

Plus! singer/songwriter AND the first woman of Dreamville Records, Ari Lennox, joins the group to talk new music, opens up about mental health, and her search for some good D!

Ari Lennox, a DC-born singer/songwriter signed to J. Cole's Dreamville Records, sits down with Full Service Radio Executive Producer Jack Inslee to talk about musical inspirations, her love for DC and advice for young artists trying to make a name for themselves.

We were so surprised with the new release of the new J. Cole release K.O.D. First that it came out with no pre-release fanfare, And with this different style he choose on this release, we hold our breath and break these tracks down to see if this is another J Cole masterpiece. KOD is the fifth studio album by American rapper J. Cole. It was released on April 20, 2018 through Dreamville Records, Roc Nation and Interscope Records.

West Coat rapper Cozz released his second studio album on J. Cole's label, Dreamville Records.  This is an album I had been waiting on for a while since Cozz's debut Cozz & Effect.

[ON A BESOIN DE VOUS : SOUTENEZ LE PROJET BINGE AUDIO SUR LA PLATE-FORME ULULE https://fr.ulule.com/binge-audio/ ]Comme la plupart des vedettes du rap américain le font dorénavant, le 9 décembre 2016 J.Cole sort son quatrième album solo, 4 your Eyez Only, sans aucune promotion. Même scénario que deux ans plus tôt avec Forest Hills Drive qui avait été certifié double disque de platine. Cette fois-ci encore Jermaine Lamarr Cole a réussi son coup puisque son album connaît un début de succès fulgurant. Le rappeur est terriblement attaché à la période de l’adolescence et dans ce sens ses chansons parlent à la plupart des gens, à la manière d’un héros auquel on peut facilement s’identifier. Sauf qu’avec des références systématiques et immédiates, on glisse presque dans le générique. J.Cole reste à la recherche du classique, une quête qui le freine et qui finalement, nous lasse un peu.Pour gagner l’album Blank Face LP de Schoolboy Q, likez notre page Facebook et répondez à la question de Mehdi Maizi en fin d’émission.
