Kendrick Lamar has surprised fans by releasing a new album on Thursday, called untitled unmastered. It appears to be a companion work to his critically acclaimed 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly.
Filled with the free jazz, funk, politically charged lyrics and experimental sounds that made To Pimp a Butterfly such an instant classic, all eight of the songs are untitled but bear a date seemingly indicating they were recorded in 2013-14 (with the exception of the seventh track: untitled 07 2014-2016).
The basketballer LeBron James tweeted to the artist and Anthony Tiffith, the chief executive of Top Dawg Entertainment, the independent hip-hop label Lamar is signed to: “you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!!”
Tiffith wrote back that he would think about it and on Wednesday hinted at the release in an Instagram post: “Ive decided 2 drop a project 1 day this week. I won’t say wut day or who.” He later posted that fans should thank James for the new release.
When Lamar announced the release on Twitter his post was retweeted more than 43,000 times in two hours.
