J. Cole tells his fans that he is “locked in” and working on new music.

In a recent blog post shared to his website for his “Inevitable” audio series, the 40-year-old rapper gives fans an update on what he is working on.

“I knowwww mannnn. I’m off to a bad start with the consistency, but I’ma do better! Watch!!” Cole wrote. “I been locked in on the music while also balancing family life. It’s a juggling act that a blog post wouldn’t do justice in explaining. But with that said, I’m back tending to this garden.”

He added, “I think I’m gonna let some other people post on here too, to get the vibes up. It’ll motivate me to check every day,and will fuel the desire to post more. I’ma start with Ib and Scott and then expand from there. To anybody in the squad reading, if you trying to contribute I’m taking applications!”

Cole previously said there was a possibility that his new album would drop in April to coincide with the last Dreamville festival.

The anticipated release from the North Carolina artist will be his first since “Might Delete Later”, the April 2024 mixtape that included “7 Minute Drill,” a diss trick aimed at Kendrick Lamar.

However, he famously retracted the diss and called it “the lamest shit I ever did in my f**king life.”
