J. Cole, The Off-Season
Cole's seventh full-length album was announced almost out of nowhere earlier this month.

Jorja Smith, Be Right Back EP
The English singer-songwriter's new EP contains songs Smith felt she needed to write, but that don't fit on her upcoming album. “It’s called Be Right Back," Smith said in a statement, "because it’s just something I want my fans to have right now, this isn’t an album and these songs wouldn’t have made it."
