Is J Cole Releasing An Album Next Month?

The rumor mill is spinning in full force around an upcoming J Cole album due to an apparent leak from Amazon. As pointed out by MissInfo.TV, Amazon put onto its store an apparent LP for J Cole, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, which, according to the pre-sale order, is slated for release Dec. 9. The intrigue continues from there: 2014 Forest Hills Drive is an address in J Cole's hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and, according to Vibe, he recently purchased the home.

The alleged album does not appear on iTunes, however. Also, with the Amazon pre-order there is conspicuously no album art attached to the CD, which lends itself to the belief that this was not supposed to be uploaded now.

There is more evidence to back up the theory on this album. According to reports, a now-deleted Instagram post shows J Cole's engineer Juro Davis in the studio "as he finishes up the last few mixes for J Cole's 3rd studio."

For J Cole, this would be his first album since his 2013 effort Born Sinner. He has been largely quiet in 2014 besides a few remixes and features. He has been touring in support of the album as well. It appears, though, that with the lack of output this year, he has been hard at work on a new album, and it may be on the way a lot sooner then we might have expected.

If this all were true, it would be an outstanding way to finish 2014.
