They’ll be joining Young Thug as openers. 

As he does with every release, J. Cole turned heads with his poignant fifth studio album, KOD. An unapologetic look into the changing hip-hop landscape, KOD intrepidly attacked topics surrounding drug abuse, ego, the characters of the new wave, and more. Finding harmony between commercial appeal and artistic integrity, this album broke as many records as it did incite debates, and soon enough, it’ll be hitting the road.

Back in May, Cole announced that he’d be taking the album on tour, with Young Thug acting as the sole opener. Well, it looks like Cole will be getting supplemental help, as he’s just added Jaden Smith and his very own Earthgang to the slate of openers.

Starting in Miami on August 9th, the KOD tour will span 34-cities, culminating in Boston on October 10th. Thug won’t be playing five of the stadiums. With the addition of Jaden and Earthgang, they provide a unique texture, diversifying the tour’s soundscape.
