J. Cole always seems to go out of his way to understand and promote the misunderstood youth of Hip Hop.

He's been a champion of Young Thug for a while now, taking Thugger on his KOD tour.

Now the word is Cole will be executive producing Thug's next album.

What that album is, it's unclear. But it may be the elusive Barter 7.

Ya think Cole and Thug would make a good team?
