J Coles surprise release new album KOD. The title has three meanings, Kids On Drugs, King Overdosed, and Killing Our Demons, and Coles artwork seems to reflect that with themes aroundroyalty, children, substance abuse, and death. An illustrated J. Cole sports a crown on the vibrant
cover. It also features several skulls and children doing drugs inside of his robe. This album is no wayintended to glorify addiction, reads the fine print above Coles head. The back cover also includesdrawings of children and drugs. The 12 tracks only feature one artist named kiLL edward on two
songs (The Cut Off and Friends). Some speculate kiLL edward could simply be J. Coles alter-ego. A song by kiLL edward was uploaded to Spotify this year, and it features a voice that is strikingly similarto Coles.
