J. Cole fans were right to be excited. After performing a surprise concert on Monday (April 16), the Dreamville founder upped the ante by announcing he’s dropping a new album titled KOD on Friday (April 20).
“New album. KOD 4/20,” he tweeted.

No phones were allowed at the concert but that didn’t stop snippets of the album from leaking. Listen to a brief clip below.
This will be Cole’s first full project since 2016’s 4 Your Eyez Only, although he’s kept busy working with artists on Dreamville and directing a recent Royce Da 5’9 video.
