J. Cole Confirms New Music Coming Before 2021 Via Alter Ego
Despite how overwhelmingly trash 2020 continues to be, we can’t disregard the fact that many hip-hop titans emerged with new projects. But as we approach the end of the year, we’re left wondering which of the major rappers will be coming through with a new project. Drake’s Certified Lover Boy is poised to drop in the near future (possibly this month?) while fans have been at the edge of their seats after Kendrick Lamar was spotted shooting a new music video.
In the midst of all of that, J. Cole has been keeping fans waiting for his follow-up to K.O.D. Rumors of The Fall Off have ran rampant over the year while many have expected KiLL Edward, Cole’s alter ego introduced on K.O.D, to come through with some heat. It looks like that may very well be the case since an announcement was made on KiLL Edward’s IG account.
“Damn been off for awhile but ima make sure we end 2020 something special!” The message of Edwards’ IG post reads. “Stay tuned hope y’all ready.”
This could very well be a sign that the follow-up to Lewis Street EP, the two-song pack he unleashed in July. Back in July, Olu of EarthGang revealed that J. Cole’s new album was on the way following a minor delay from the coronavirus. Olu’s comments could’ve very well been said in jest but with the latest announcement from KiLL Edward, perhaps an album is officially on the way.

Wyn Calico create the need to support with his latest release “Support”
Wyn Calico steps into deeply personal territory with his latest single, “Support,” a heartfelt offering that addresses a feeling many people know, but rarely express so openly. It’s a song about the universal desire to be encouraged, recognised, and uplifted, turning personal frustration into a relatable message of resilience.
“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it. Wyn Calico expresses the emotional burden of wanting to make a difference, believing in your purpose, and still moving forward when you hit setbacks. The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.
This song also highlights an important truth, there are many talented and hard-working people out there who have everything it takes to make a difference, except the encouragement and opportunity to flourish. Wyn Calico’s lyrics and delivery shine a light on that struggle and offer a sense of solidarity to those in similar situations.
“Support” isn’t just a personal statement. It’s a conversation starter. It encourages us to think about the value of community, support, and believing in each other. Wyn Calico’s latest drop is honest, relatable, and emotionally driven, a powerful reminder that even in the moments of isolation, the desire to keep pushing forward is still stronger than ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”
NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.
“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.
The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
