Kendrick Lamar Hot New Album Title, Cover Art, Tracklist & Release Date 2015: 'The Blacker the Berry' Rapper Officially Announces Sophomore LP [Pic]
Kendrick Lamar's highly anticipated sophomore studio album is now set for a release in just a few weeks.
The Compton emcee took to his Twitter account on Friday to share an iTunes link for his latest project, with a $14.99 pre-order button:
For now, the link leads to a "Digital Booklet - TBD" - a collection of 16 tracks that includes Lamar's most recent, critically acclaimed single "The Blacker the Berry." However, last year's self-empowerment anthem "i" does not appear to have made the cut, as it is missing on the tracklist.
The upcoming record is listed as "[Untitled]" with a simple black square as its accompanying cover art, which is the same image as K. Dot's current Twitter profile picture.
However, it might get a new title and artwork, as iTunes states: "Pre-order contents may change without notice. You'll be charged and receive items from this pre-order as they become available."
In addition, Peter Rosenberg, the co-host of New York radio station HOT 97's "The Morning Show," previously discussed his four-track preview of the follow-up to 2012's "good kid, m.A.A.d city."
"After the interview, I was privy to hear some of the new music from Kendrick Lamar that will appear on his next album dropping some time in early 2015," he said during a November edition of "The Realness." "Yes, Kendrick Lamar somehow has developed even more, gone to another level. He's talking about Black righteousness. He's talking about Africa. There's social commentary."
The radio DJ then claimed that the "B---h, Don't Kill My Vibe" hitmaker's second record is quite similar to his major-label debut album:
"There's all kinds of deep thoughts... There are deep thoughts throughout. However it is upbeat music that is gonna thrive in the club and on the radio. However, just like 'good kid m.A.A.d city,' you can hear there's no attempt to make club music."
Kendrick Lamar's "Untitled" album is due out on March 23 via Aftermath/Interscope Records.
