The 40-year-old MC also shared a note providing more insight into the concept behind The Fall-Off<\/em>, which he says brings his pursuit of hip-hop stardom \u201cfull circle.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cSome of the very first verses for The Come Up<\/em> were written when I was just 19 years old,\u201d he wrote, referencing his 2007 debut mixtape. \u201cThe title of that project, the first one that I would ever release, had a double meaning. There was the obvious one; my ambitions to \u2018come up\u2019 in the rap game. The second was more subtle; my physical change of location to do so.<\/p>\n\u201cI was a delusional teenager from Fayetteville, North Carolina who had decided to leave home and \u2018come up\u2019 to New York City on a dream-chasing mission. When you listen to that project you hear a college kid with a real sharp pen, telling the world how he\u2019s going to make it and proudly put his unknown city on the map in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cole continued: \u201cTowards the end of The Come Up<\/em>, a couple skits tell a common story for me at that age. Me, driving back home from school on a holiday break, calling my mom to let her know I\u2019m a few hours away, then calling my homeboys, excited to let them know I\u2019m back in town, asking where the party at?<\/p>\n\u201cThe Fall-Off<\/em>, a double album made with intentions to be my last, brings the concept of my first project full circle. Disc 29 tells a story of me returning to my hometown at age 29. A decade after moving to New York, accomplishing what would have seemed impossible to most, I was at a crossroads with the 3 loves of my life; my woman, my craft, and my city.<\/p>\n\u201cDisc 39 gives insight into my mindset during a similar trip home, this time as a 39 year old man. Older and a little closer to peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout giving away too much more, here is the back cover of The Fall-Off<\/em>,\u201d he added. \u201cAll pictures in this version of the album were shot by me. The front and back cover are photographs I took when I was 15. This back cover, that includes the tracklist, is a picture I took of the walls in my bedroom at the time.<\/p>\n\u201cThank you to every artist and photographer that cleared these pictures. I woke up every morning as a teenager quite literally looking up to yall. When this album releases please know that you, in some deeper metaphysical type way, are in the music too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
