I honestly believe every J. Cole fan has been waiting in limbo for a new album since his 2016 release of "4 Your Eyez Only"...all while keeping the latter on repeat & spreading his tracks throughout numerous mixes & playlists, just so you won't go through withdrawals.
Well, if you're one of those fans, fret not any longer...
J. Cole officially announced his new album is dropping THIS FRIDAY {4/20} titled "K.O.D". Now, what the acronym stands for, right now, I do not know but I'm sure we'll know by the end of the week. Are you not excited, though?!?! You guys! I was like WHAT?!?! And I literally just got this news TONIGHT {4/16}.
Rumors have been emerging about J. Cole releasing a new album earlier today {4/16} when he unexpectedly wiped his IG account & then replaced all his social accounts with a lavender shaded image. Then he announced on Twitter to his fans (right) & proceeded to hold an impromptu performance --basically an album listening-- for NYC fans & those in proximity. With the flyer being as discreet & to-the-point as possible, fans were in for a treat as he performed ALL 12 songs that are going to be on the K.O.D. album.
With his social accounts coming up with the mysterious purple shade of artwork, fans were on edge trying to see what J. Cole was up to. Well, now we know.
Because just hours later, he tweets:
And within minutes, there were thousands of retweets & likes...and as you can see, this was around 6:30, so I'm pretty sure there's more than that now.
Not to mention, it's been stated that this album took only 2 weeks to make. That takes pure talent you guys! You cannot deny that.
Nonetheless, be on the lookout for an update as soon as the album drops, I'll do a full review & give you a chance to listen to a few of my favorites off the album...which will probably be every...single...song! But, hey! If you're a J. Cole fan, you won't mind.
But that's all I've got for you right now & I hope you enjoyed the update you guys; like I said, come back later for the update. I'll check in with y'all again later this week. Thanks for reading!
