Album Notes & Community Reviews

Standing for 'Kids on Drugs', 'King Overdosed', and 'Kill Our Demons', the fifth studio album from the North Carolina rapper is a conceptual, cautionary critique of modern addiction. Entirely self-produced, Cole heavily adopts the trap flows and aesthetics of the SoundCloud era specifically to dismantle their glorification of drug abuse and materialism. Despite massive commercial success, the heavily preachy, moralistic tone polarized rap audiences and critics.
