J Coles surprise release new album KOD. The title has three meanings, “Kids On Drugs,” “King Overdosed,” and “Killing Our Demons,” and Cole’s artwork seems to reflect that with the mes around royalty, children, substance abuse, and death. An illustrated J. Cole sports a crown on the vibrantcover. It also features several skulls and children doing drugs inside of his robe. “This album is no way intended to glorify addiction,” reads the fine print above Cole’s head. The back cover also includes drawings of children and drugs. The 12 tracks only feature one artist named kiLL edward on twosongs (The Cut Off and Friends). Some speculate kiLL edward could simply be J. Cole’s alter-ego. A song by kiLL edward was uploaded to Spotify this year, and it features a voice that is strikingly similar to Cole’s.Track ListSide A Intro KOD Photograph The Cut Off ATM Motiv8 Kevin’s Heart Side B BRACKETS Once an Addict FRIENDS Window Pain 1985 Show more
