Approximately 500 fans reportedly packed the venue to listen to the rapper premiere his new music, while no phones or cameras were allowed inside.
There is very little information about 'KOD' so far however people at the show have confirmed that the album name 'KOD' has multiple meanings.
According to @OnlyHipHopFacts, who was in attendance, it means "Kids on Drugs,” “King Overdosed,” and “Killing Our Demons.”

He played 10-12 songs. After the outro he played a song that he said was an intro to some other shit where he talks about a certain type of rapper, you'll know what that means when you hear it. Most of the beats were hard I can only recall 2 slow songs.
