The Fall Off is here! J Cole's highly anticipated album after he respectfully exited the beef between Drake and Kendrick. But did he reaffirm his status as a TOP MC? Is the album just bloated with more mid tier Cole tracks? Is this J Cole's actual fall off? Listen to the album and then hear what we have to say, this episode will make a lot more sense. Or if you're needing convincing to listen to it or to straight up skip it, we'll let you know!

Good friend of the podcast, the very incredible Jarrod from Negro Jump stops by again but this time for a filler!

Hyperbolic Collabs!
