Roc Nation’s J. Cole is gearing up to hit the road. The hip-hop star has announced a new KOD tour starting this summer.
Cole went to social media Tuesday (May 8) to break the news of his cross-country tour and co-headliner Young Thug.

In late April, radio veteran Funk Flex taunted Lil Pump by celebrating Cole’s KOD first-week sales.

A few weeks ago, J addressed speculation about who he directed his “1985” subliminal lyrics toward.
“It’s really a ‘shoe fits’ situation — several people can wear that shoe,” Cole says cryptically. “Why you yelling at your show? You must feel attacked in some kind of way, must feel offended, and if you feel offended, then that means something rings true, something struck a chord. That’s cool with me. That’s all I ever want to do. … If you exclude the top three rappers in the game, the most popping rappers all are exaggerated versions of black stereotypes. Extremely tatted up. Colorful hair. Flamboyant. Brand names. It’s caricatures, and still the dominant representation of black people, on the most popular entertainment format for black people, period.” (Vulture)
