Original:
Today was a day full of surprises, especially if you’re a fan of J. Cole and the Dreamville collective. Sending fans into detective mode, J. Cole’s Instagram was completely wiped of all it’s photos and simply equipped with a purple photo as his main picture. For his Twitter, the same mysterious was found early today.
Randomly announcing on Twitter this afternoon that a listening session would be held in New York City, just after deleting a tweet that read, “It’s time,” the rapper requested that no phones, bags, and similar things of that sort to enter the venue for the session. Making his grant return, J. Cole took to Twitter to announce his fifth studio album, KOD, which comes almost two years after 4 Your Eyez Only.
