In the audience meeting of J. Cole on April 16, 2018, the use of the mobile phone was not permitted, but one fan secretly posted a voice to the title track of the Cole 2018 project KOD.
On the track, in the first quarter, the call spread to the audience and his game repertoire, solving the functional comments of his album. The second quarter and chorus of the song explain in more detail Cole's youth and the environment he is engaged in the drug.
On the other hand, J. Cole is considered to be a handsome artist, and rhymes of his story at KOD have rumors and personal events in the album. In "Friends", J. Cole recalls the real person, he chooses to distort his name, and often criticizes anxiety, depression and treatment, especially for young black people. Jon Caramanica of the New York Times noted KOD's "I was an addictor once," and called this song "With spooky details and emotional scars, melodies about his family relationship." Relationship with alcohol and his emotional distress. "J. Cole is known for his introspection and sincere music, especially his previously released album 4 Your Eyes Only, mainly released about December 9, 2016
Recently in the hip - hop world, J. There is much debate about Cole. The most popular argument that caught my attention is J. Whether Cole was overestimated or not. Jermaine Lamarr Cole is a 32 year old rapper who grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina. As a diligent, he has been sticking to his dream since 2007. He signed the Roc Nation for the first time in 2009 and was signed by Jay ZJ Cole So far I have released 4 studio albums, Cole World: Sideline Story, Born Sinner, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, and finally 4 Eyez did. In my opinion, J. The career of the call has been successful from the beginning, I do not think that he is overrated.
Only the album was announced a few days before the album was released, this is just the beginning of "KOD" recently released by J. Cole. Obviously for him, the meaning gained from the rest of the album is left to the hands of the audience, it is no accident to release on April 20. In particular, songs and albums with a drag theme But the theme related to these narcotic themes, especially drug trafficking, is not regenerated by the typical way most hip-hop / rapper deal with it (the most in the mind One of the successful tracks is The Notorious BIG 's "Ten Crack Commandments".) By contrast, the slogan of "KOD" is "This album is by no means an appreciation addiction". For J. Cole, these lyrics are "flip" and drug use / abuse mockup, and his role is like the rapper he is currently seeing in the industry.
