Three days before embarking on The Off-Season tour, J. Cole randomly dropped the music video for “Heaven’s EP” as a YouTube exclusive. Utilizing the same beat from Drake’s “Pipe Down,” which had dropped a few weeks earlier on his highly-anticipated Certified Lover Boy album, Cole speaks on his contemporaries, common comparisons, self-doubts, and overall mindset as an “aging” rapper.

The song was officially released to all platforms on the Dreamville mixtape D-Day, hosted by DJ Drama, on March 31, 2022.
