J. Cole Debuts 'Legacy' Video Inside Trunk Sale Vlog as He Calls 'The Fall-Off' His Narrative Endpoint

The direct-to-fan rollout leans on in-person trunk pop-ups with vlogs that double as fan meetups.

Overview

  • The official video for 'Legacy' appears inside Cole’s latest Trunk Sale vlog at roughly the 2:50 mark, featuring a minimalist performance beside and inside a convertible.
  • In the same episode, he explains that The Fall-Off continues and completes the J. Cole character’s life story as told through his albums.
  • Cole classifies 4 Your Eyez Only, KOD, The Off-Season, and Might Delete Later as concept work or practice he calls 'side quests' and 'lyrical exercise.'
  • He says he is finished telling Jermaine’s story via the J. Cole persona but may still rap, appear on songs, or release another album if inspiration strikes.
  • A newly announced headlining tour in support of The Fall-Off is slated to start on July 11 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
