Apr 27, 2018I feel mixed about this. While there are good sings there are also bad songs. In my opinion half of the songs are good while half are bad. Kinda split there.

Apr 11, 2021Cole tries to fine-tune his melody, but his delivery alone is not enough to carry an entire album on their own. Especially when he is trying to address a problem as large as "addiction." Nothing Cole says is anything that is inherently unique and makes anyone want to choose an album like this over many others.

May 29, 2018Though it's no surprise that Cole's consciousness leads the album, his unabashed statements regarding the direction of rap music and its current megastars are gutsy.

May 7, 2018As the value of Cole's witticisms, and the intellect required to decrypt full meaning of his verses, continues to be debated, the increased strength in his clear-cut writing evinces promise of greater work ahead.

May 4, 2018While there are moments where Cole comes off more as a condescending high school principal than earnest older brother, KOD is an overall strong effort that connects of emotional trauma, mental health stigma in the Black community and the real problem of drug glorification.
