Surprise! Kendrick Lamar has gone and dropped a brand new album dubbed untitled unmastered., after details of it leaked earlier today on Spotify.
The album contains eight songs and spans 34 minutes. The names of the tracks suggest they were recorded across 2013, 2014, and 2016.
Kendrick previously performed untitled tracks on The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as a new, politically charged verse at this year’s Grammy Awards.
