J. Cole’s headlining tour in support of this year’s KOD kicks off next week, and, though we knew Young Thug would be spitting bars in advance of Cole’s set, we were in the dark on who else would be joining the two-month trek. Well, the North Carolina rapper took to Twitter this morning to announce the Twitter-savvy Jaden Smith and Atlanta hip-hop duo EarthGang as his openers.
Earlier this month, Smith dropped Syre: The Electric Album exclusively on Instagram, the son of Will Smith will play his first Lollapalooza set this weekend. EarthGang, meanwhile, shared its excellent Royalty EP back in March. In February, they were Consequence of Sound’s Artist of the Month.
