The Compton emcee took to his rarely used Instagram account on early Wednesday morning to post what appears to be the official artwork of his upcoming record.
The black-and-white image clearly aims at racial prejudice in America today -- just like Lamar's most recent single, "The Blacker the Berry." It features a group of black men and children posing in front of the White House, while holding cash, champagne and babies.
There is a white man, who appears to be a dead judge, lying on the ground with his eyes crossed out with X's and a gavel in his hand.
"Don't all dogs go to heaven? Don't Gangsta's boogie? Do owl sh*t stank? Lions, Tigers & Bears. But TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. Its the American dream ni**a...." - lil Homie," K. Dot captioned the image.
The words "To Pimp a Butterfly" is in all caps -- which suggest that this could be the title of the "i" rapper's latest project. Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith also tweeted:

Last week, Lamar took to his Twitter account to share an iTunes link for his forthcoming LP, with a $14.99 pre-order button:

For now, the link leads to a "Digital Booklet - TBD" - a collection of 16 tracks.
Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" is set for a release on March 23.
