Kendrick Lamar pulled a surprise out of the studio for fans by releasing an unexpected new album, Untitled Unmastered. The eight-track record comes almost a year after the Grammy-winner released his critically-acclaimed third studio album, To Pimp A Butterfly.
The small collection, which appeared on Lamar's Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play pages on 4 March, features eight tracks, each of which appear to be titled with the date the song was recorded. Moments before the album was released, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith teased the release, telling his Instagram followers: "Yeah muthaf**kers KING KENDRICK returns 2night... thank @kingJames for this... #TDE."
Lamar, 28, is yet to explain why he decided to release the new material at this point but he previously admitted to sitting on a hoard of unreleased songs. In an interview with 2DopeBoyz, Lamar said: "I got a chamber of material from the album that I was in love [with], where sample clearances or something as simple as a deadline kept it off the album. But I think probably close to 10 songs that I'm in love with that I'll still play and still perform that didn't make the cut."
