To many fans, the album might have come out of nowehere. When TDE CEO Anthony Tiffith announced earlier this week his plan to release something from one of his artists, many expected it would be new music from Lamar's labelmates like SchoolBoy Q, SZA or Ab-Soul. However, no one really minds getting a bunch of new Kendrick Lamar songs.
The 28-year-old MC is still enjoying the success of his critically-acclaimed 2015 LP, "To Pimp a Butterfly". The record helped him win multiple awards at last month's Grammys, during which he also delivered racially-charged performances of "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright".
