J. Cole took to his personal blog, The Algorithm, to tell his fans his current favorite song on The Fall-Off.
The Carolina rapper updated fans on the past month and some changes since dropping his seventh album and embarking on a “Trunk Sale Tour” that saw him traveling across the country in an old Honda Civic where he sold the album out of his trunk and listened to the album with fans.
“This post is just me checking in and saying thank you for all the love on the album,” he wrote before mentioning that he’s getting mentally prepared to hit The Fall-Off Tour. “From the YouTube videos I see, to the Tik-Tok videos, IG and Twitter posts that make it to me, it’s the best feeling when I see people that feel the same way I do about the music. For real. It’s officially a month after The Fall-Off dropped, and I’m still over here playing it every day religiously as if I’m not the one that’s rapping on it.”
He then went on to write about seeing comments on social media and YouTube of fans naming their favorite songs from the album and let people know his pick, while suggesting that there’s a couple songs worthy of the top spot on any given day.
“Some of my favorite comments to see are the ones that say something like, ‘Man, every time I play this album I end up with a new favorite,’” he said. “It’s the highest compliment, and in my mind I be like ‘I FEEL you!’ I felt the same way listening to the album before it even dropped, and I still feel like that right now. I usually drop a project and be so tired from working on it that I don’t want to hear it once it’s out. But with this one it’s different. Currently my favorite song is ‘The Let Out’… ‘Poor Thang’ and ‘I Love Her Again’ are creeping back up there too.”
Cole ended the post by saying he’s planning on stepping out of his “comfort zone” to do some interviews and is planning to post more consistently on his blog.
The Fall-Off Tour kicks off in July.
