Two days after announcing his anticipated fifth studio album ‘KOD’, J. Cole follows-up by uncovering the album’s artwork, sharing the track list, and dropping a new single.
There has been speculation that the album’s ‘KOD’ title has a few different meanings being, “King OverDosed,” “Kids On Drugs,” “Killing Our Demons,” and “King of Dreamville.” With the exception of the latter option the album’s cover artwork would make sense and reflects the first three meanings with Cole sitting on a throne with a crown, while inside his gown you see children, drugs, and death.
It had been confirmed the album would come with 12-tracks and that is represented on the backside artwork, but it was also said there would be no features on the album consistent to his last two. However on the tracks “The Cut Off” and “Friends” there is a feature from a mysterious artist named kiLL edward, who many seem to think is Cole’s alter ego.
There was a song uploaded to Spotify earlier this year called “Tidal Wave” that does have a resemblance to Cole’s voice, so maybe it is his singing name.
Listen below.
