US hip hop artist J Cole has dropped a surprise album announcement via Twitter, confirming that new music will drop this Friday.

The rapper posted a mysterious image earlier today, urging fans to come to Gramercy Theatre in New York, with admittance issued on a “first come first serve” basis.

The tweet included a “no phones” and “no cameras” disclaimer that had many speculating he’d be debuting new music.

Cole then tweeted this Friday’s date (“4/20”) alongside “New album” and the abbreviation “KOD”.

As Pitchfork reports, fans were given a taste of new music from Cole earlier this week via an ESPN NBA commercial.

Cole was in Australia in December wrapping up the touring cycle for his last album, 2016’s 4 Your Eyez Only.
