Yesterday Cole tweeted that he was on the hunt for some fire production from any producers willing to deliver.

Sending out the message, “Feed me beats. Everything gettin murdered.” early Monday morning, J. Cole had twitter going crazy with speculation that the North Carolina rapper was ready to get back in the studio for a new album.

To fans’ surprise, J. Cole just dropped off a nearly three-minute freestyle premiering as a World Star Hip Hop exclusive. With a simple visual treatment, using street backdrops as his canvas, the Dreamville emcee delivers the “Album Of The Year (Freestyle).”

Dropping bars over Nas’ “Oochi Wally,” Cole spits:

All summer long, plus three seasons after
Please “CC” a rapper, tell ‘em meet me it’s absolutely imperative
That my heat speak to rappers
The problem with this game is this weak sea of rappers
I’m the answer on the low
I’m a cheat sheet for rappers.

Looks like ‘The Off Season’ is coming soon.
