Kendrick Lamar's follow up to 2015 masterpiece To Pimp A Butterfly arrived overnight. It's called untitled unmastered.
The new eight-track release features "untitled 03" and "untitled 08" - the former was aired on The Colbert Report, and the latter was performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The track titles indicate that untitled unmastered comprises cuts that were recorded between 2013-2016.
"untitled 07" was co-produced by Swizz Beatz and Alisha Keys' five-year-old son Egypt (watch clips of the process here and here). Cee-Lo Green appears on "untitled 06".
Listen to the LP below. You can grab it on iTunes now.
