Tonight in New York city, hip-hop artist J. Cole threw a surprise fans-only event at the Gramercy Theatre.

Earlier in the day, Cole announced his plans via his personal social media accounts, telling fans to come to Gramercy Theatre at 6 p.m EST. Though he didnā€™t reveal much, the post listed out a set of rules such as: no phones, cameras, bags, press list, or guest list, suggesting something big was going to be revealed. Along with changing his social media profile image to a shade of purple, Cole also tweeted out ā€œItā€™s Time.ā€

Turns out during the surprise concert, Cole did in fact play his new album titled K.O.D.. According to Sony Music Entertainmentā€™s Brian ā€œB.Dotā€ Miller, Cole played the entire 12-track album, which he states was recorded in just two weeks. Miller also revealed what K.O.D. could potentially stand for: Kidz on Drugz, King Overdose, or Kill Our Demonz, and a track title off the album, ā€œ1985.ā€ Shortly after, Cole revealed the album would be dropping this Friday, April 20.
