J. Cole has moved up the release date of his forthcoming sophomore album, Born Sinner, from June 25th to the 18th, the same day Kanye West is scheduled to release his new LP, Yeezus.

"Kanye West is one of the greatest artists of our generation," Cole wrote on Twitter. "Which is exactly why I'm moving my release date up."

Born Sinner will feature 16 tracks on the standard set and 21 on the deluxe.
