TLDR: The “Two Six” music video expands The Fall Off’s narrative, pairing hometown pride with reflective visuals from J. Cole’s double album.
The video for “Two Six” finds J. Cole avoiding spectacle. It moves with the same quiet resolve that defines much of The Fall Off, letting presence, memory, and environment carry the weight. Shot by Simon Chasalow, the visual leans into atmosphere rather than excess, grounding the record’s themes of identity and homecoming in understated imagery.
“Two Six” sits near the emotional core of the project, and its context runs deeper than a track listing slot. As the song bio on Genius explains, “Two Six is a culturally rooted anthem and hometown homage that sits as track two on J. Cole’s double-disc project The Fall Off… it reflects on themes of growth, a sense of belonging and artistic maturation, acting as a bridge for his journey from a local artist to a global icon in rap culture.” That grounding shapes the video’s tone, which feels less like a victory lap and more like a return.
Production plays a key role in that mood. The track was co-produced by Canadian hitmaker T-Minus alongside Omen and Ron Gilmore, a trio that balances warmth with restraint. T-Minus’ influence stretches across The Fall Off, where he also served as co-executive producer and contributed to 15 songs, helping build the album’s cohesive sonic backbone while leaving space for Cole’s voice and storytelling.
The result is a visual that reflects the album’s larger mission: perspective over flash, memory over momentum. The “Two Six” video feels like an extension of the project’s reflective arc, less about spectacle than about remembering where the journey started.
J. Cole’s The Fall Off is available now for streaming on digital streaming platforms via Dreamville.
