After his stellar performance at the Grammys, Kendrick Lamar is back with his new album untitled unmastered. The album reveals a more instinctive side of Lamar who still seems to ponder about the world’s ills in his tracks.
The rapper released the album last Friday which includes songs Lamar has performed in recent months along with the ones that are fresh from the recording studio.
In this album, the rapper reflects on the troubles of fame and advises a society that seems to be experiencing a “spiritual crisis.”
NBA star LeBron James was credited as the “force” behind the album, since he tweeted Anthony Tiffith, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO, urging him to release the tracks last week. The tweet read, “Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance, you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What’s up? Talk to me.”
LeBron and Lamar’s fans were delighted when Lamar tweeted a link to the recordings after the album art was released on Spotify last Friday.
