Recent J. Cole news has fans buzzing as the rapper continues his unique promotional tour for his latest album, The Fall-Off. Cole is hitting cities across the U.S. selling CDs directly out of his old Honda Civic. This “Trunk Sale” is a way for him to connect with fans and get back to his roots.

Hitting the Streets

J. Cole recently announced his next stop for the “Trunk Sale” tour is Washington D.C. He shared the news on Twitter/X, stating, “DC. Getting some new speakers put in the civic today and then we outside !!” This announcement came after he had his car equipped with new speakers. The rapper explained that this tour is a way to relive the feeling of selling albums himself. He remembered his early days, writing, “I used to go up to the gas stations trying to sell the album to strangers ‘yo you like hip hop??’ Was the beginning of the sales pitch.” Cole wanted to feel that connection again.

Fan Enthusiasm Builds

Fans in D.C. are excited about Cole’s arrival. Many took to his replies on social media to share their anticipation. One fan wrote, “New speakers in the Civic, Cole in the playlist, and DC energy loading… yeah, today already a classic.” Others are hoping he announces more stops. Several fans suggested cities like Baltimore and New York City for future trunk sales. This grassroots approach has clearly resonated with his fanbase.

Prior Encounters

This D.C. stop follows a recent appearance at Hampton University in Virginia. There, J. Cole met a talented fan named Kelo Soul. The fan shared a video of the encounter on Instagram. In the clip, Kelo Soul approaches Cole’s car and performs a freestyle rap. Cole was visibly impressed by the performance. He even gave the fan a shout-out and praised his skills. This interaction shows Cole’s willingness to engage directly with his audience.

The **”Trunk Sale” Philosophy
