J Cole
KOD LP vinyl

J Coles 2018 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 themes around royalty, 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 way intended to glorify addiction,” reads the fine print above Cole’s head. 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. Cole’s alter-ego.
