North Carolina rapper, J. Cole has just dropped a fierce new freestyle titled "Album of the Year," which finds him spitting bars over Nas and Braveheart's track, "Oochie Wally." Watch the official video up top.

Directed by Simon David, the video spotlights Cole in various locations, like graffitied tunnels and outside a gas station, as he delivers lines like, “Reporting to you live from the International Space Station/ I probably vacation on Mars/ The flow is out of this world and so is the bars."

In the YouTube description, Cole suggests that "Album of the Year" will feature on an upcoming album project, writing "The Off Season coming soon... All roads lead to The Fall Off."

KOD, J.Cole's most recent album dropped in April — the tour for which kicks off in Miami tomorrow, August 9, with Young Thug in tow. Read our review of the album right here.
