Rapper J. Cole has teased that he is about to release new music by wiping his Instagram of all content.

The 37-year-old previously wiped his Instagram in January 2019, days before dropping "Middle Child" — the lead single from his record label's "Revenge of the Dreamers III" compilation that was released later that year.

Cole also wiped his Instagram right before the surprise release of his fifth studio album, "KOD," in 2018.

In December 2020, Cole shared a rare photo to his Instagram of his upcoming projects.

The post featured a notebook with "The Fall Off Era" written across the top. Below the header, he wrote "Features" and "ROTD3" — which were both crossed out — before he wrote "The Off-Season," "It's A Boy," and "The Fall Off."

"The Off-Season," Cole's sixth studio album, was released in May 2021.

Cole has yet to drop another solo project, however, has featured on a number of tracks, including "Johnny P's Caddy" with Benny the Butcher in January 2022, which was the latter's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

In May 2021, Cole confirmed "It's A Boy" would be his next solo project while speaking with Kevin Durant on the basketball star's podcast, "The ETCs."

It remains unclear whether the project will be Cole's seventh studio album or a mixtape.

No tracks have yet been released, nor has a release date, however, some fans of the Grammy Award-winning star have hypothesized "It's A Boy" could release on January 28 — Cole's birthday.

"The title of the album, 'It's A Boy' would line up perfectly because he was born on January 28th," wrote one Reddit user. "Literally, it's a boy."

Dreamville Records, Cole's record label, did not immediately reply to Insider's request for comment.
