Kendrick Lamar hasn’t released a studio album since 2017’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece DAMN.
As K. Dot fans’ thirst for new material grows, Top Dawg CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith is providing a tiny bit of relief. During an Instagram Live session on Sunday evening (May 17), Tiffith provided a small update, writing, “Stay patient. King Kendrick will return soon.”
The Compton-bred MC’s first proper studio album, Section.80, dropped in 2011 and he’s been dropping projects relatively consistently ever since. Following the release of DAMN., he returned with the Black Panther soundtrack, which he curated and produced alongside Tiffith.
Thundercat Confirms He Contributed To Kendrick Lamar's New Album
While no other new information has been revealed about the next K. Dot album, longtime collaborator Thundercat did mention he “worked on the new [album] a little bit” during an interview with a Japanese outlet in March.
“I feel like Kendrick is and will be a beacon of what it means to be one of the more creative artists of our generation through the way the albums have twisted and turned,” he said of his friend. “It speaks beyond its years. Him as an artist, he inspired me a lot. A lot.
“I wish I could spend more time around him creating just because he gives off such energy and he knows what he wants a lot of time. Some of my favorite moments of recording are with Kendrick.”
In before that one person always comments how Kendrick and TDE used to sound like Death Row, then they sounded like Young Money. Call Kendrick’s music pop trash, using a song off Black Panther soundtrack, that’s not even one of his best songs, as an example. And how the others are making “radio pop trash”. Well, let me tell you that the music TDE has been putting out this year so far has been great. The latest song Reason and ScHoolboy put out “Pop Shit” is dope. SiR’s got some chill vibes with “John Redcorn” and Isaiah came back with “Why Worry”. I’m anticipating what else they have in store for the year.
This comment is on point. /comments
TDE needs to stop playing and drop a fucckin compilation album with their entire roster. Motherfuckkers
They should’ve done that on 2012. They were all in their primes back then.
Jay Rock just dropped his best album last year. What you mean in their prime in 2012. Fucckk outta here.
Redemption, best album of last year? That’s Jay rocks worst album to date lol.
Thank you! Real Jay Rock fans know Redemption was Rock worst album, he had great single win and rode that TDE machine for the win
U really think Redemption is rocks best album? FOLLOW ME HOME was his best, 90059, THEN redemption… That WIN track was absolute garbage
Nah 90059 was his best
I agree
Win? Win win win win
It Isaiah Rashad we need before new K Dot
I’ve never listened to a full Kendrick song. I’d fall asleep. All the white suburban kids waiting for Kendrick to release new music. TDE in general is a boring ass group of rappers.

Hay fvck u for saying such a trash
And u too
Shame on you, sir. Shame.
The barz fly over you head coz you not smart enough to get them.
You donno good music.
How about yall ride 69s ckock instead of Dots. On bompton piru.
Kendrick Lamar for life, we know the real one’s.mo fvckers k dot 4life
I stubbornly didn’t like Kendrick’s music early on. Now I rate him as one of the best ever in any genre of music. Kendrick, J Cole and Black Thought are tied for #1 on the top 20 best rappers alive list.
