The anniversary edition of the album is currently priced at $14. The vinyl is priced at $43 but is currently sold out. J. Cole's third studio album is currently the most successful album of his career. The singer elaborated on the album and the significance of its title in an interview with Vice website on May 18, 2015:
"We were able to get the house, because there was another income. My stepfather was in the army, she had a job at the post office. Two $30,000 incomes combined, now we could move up. I lived in that house for like seven good years of my life from age eleven to eighteen."
J. Cole continued:
"So that’s the house I started rapping in, made my first beat, wrote my first song, had my first girlfriend, my first late night conversations, got my first job, I made the basketball team there; you know it’s like so many great memories associated with that house. It took me running away from home to learn that ultimately, home is where it’s at."
J. Cole also stated:
"Now I see my whole life from an aerial view and it’s absolutely necessary that everything in my career happened; every step was necessary for me to come to the understanding that I’m at now, which is way more centred around love and appreciation."
The anniversary edition's release follows the release of the singer's mixtape Friday Nights Lights on November 28, 2024. The singer announced the release of the mixtape via his official Instagram page:
"This is a very special moment for me. Been waiting patiently for this day, like a lot of yall have. I wanna say Thank you to everybody out there that kept these projects alive, even during all the years they were not on streaming services, especially this project right here. “Friday Nights Lights” finally available now on all platforms."
Besides the Forest Hills Drive, the singer has released four other studio albums. The singer released his last studio album, The Off-Season, on May 14, 2021.
