Cole Could Be ‘Done’ W/ Rap After This Album


Cole’s rap career is thriving. Despite putting out a chart-topping The Off-Season to universal praise, the Dreamville boss could actually be retiring from his day job sooner than later.

“Oh, bro, I’m super comfortable with the potential of being done with this sh*t. But I’m never going to say, ‘Oh, this is my last album.’ … Because I never know how I’m going to feel two years, three years, four years down the line, 10 years down the line, but please believe, I’m doing all this work for a reason. … I’m doing all this work to be at peace with, ‘If I never did another album, I’m cool.’”
