J. Cole has announced that his fifth studio album titled KOD will release on Friday. The rapper made the surprise announcement on Twitter Monday after holding a listening party featuring the new 12-track album in New York. Cole invited guests to the listening party on Twitter noting that there was no press or guest list and that anyone could join on a “first come, first serve” basis. Another listening party is set to take place in London. KOD follows the release of his last album 4 Your Eyez Only which was announced days before its release in December 2016.
