CHARLOTTE, NC — July 07, 2026 — J. Cole announces the release of The Fall-Off Magazine, a 144-page editorial publication arriving ahead of his six month-long The Fall-Off World Tour (15 countries, over 50 cities). In homage to the rich tradition of Hip-Hop print journalism, the exclusive mag illuminates the history, present and future of rap music, business and culture through original reporting, photography, artwork, and design.

Available in a limited print run, The Fall-Off Magazine is available via http://thefalloff.com

Commissioned by Cole, this exclusive mag is led by its Editor-In-Chief, Bonsu Thompson, an award-winning writer and producer whose journalism career stretches three decades, across some of Hip-Hop’s most historic publications. Alongside Publisher and VP of Creative, Felton Brown, Thompson assembled a balanced editorial team of journalists and visual creatives (seasoned and on-the-rise) to create a literary artifact that continues to enrich long after its release.

“Like all essential creative by and for a culture, this collector’s edition arrives when most needed by its audience. Hip-Hop journalism has somehow expanded, diversified, atrophied and become amorphous all at once. So my aim was to deploy storytelling and the humanization of starpower to educate the world on how Godly the craftsmen and innovation behind Hip-Hop commerce were, are and will forever be. No wifi needed.”

— Bonsu Thompson, Editor-in-Chief

“The Fall-Off Magazine documents a singular moment in time. Like the sun, Hip-hop has never stood still. Every generation has added to the culture, and this publication was built to create space for generations of old and new to commune in conversation with one another.

“We built this publication because we believe context matters, conversation matters, critical thought matters, and original content matters. Hip-Hop has always mattered. Documenting this thing of ours to be consumed tangibly creates a cultural and educational experience that people can return to long after the moment has passed.”

— Felton Brown, Publisher & VP of Creative

More than 60 creatives––writers, photographers, illustrators, designers, and artists––were deployed to collaborate, explore and document the people, music, ideas, endeavors and dialogue that have and continue to shape the internationally beloved culture that is Hip-hop.

Available in a limited print run, The Fall-Off Magazineis designed to be collected, revisited, and shared, carrying forward the tradition of print publications that have long documented hip-hop as it lives, evolves, and inspires the next generation.
