Unreleased Kendrick Lamar songs have leaked online, appearing on Spotify in a playlist titled “Morale Pack.”

The three new leaks from K. Dot are titled “Pure,” “Make Me Happy” and “Computer Love,” and appear to have been recorded during the making of his most recent album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, which arrived last year.
“Pure” was reportedly produced by Pharrell and contains some of the same lyrics and ad-libs from Kendrick’s verse on the leaked version of Baby Keem’s “Vent,” which Keem later used on “Cocoa.”

On “Make Me Happy” Kendrick recycles similar lines that appeared on the Mr. Morale track “Purple Hearts” including “Crown on Bob Marley, wrist on Yo Gotti,” while “Computer Love” finds the Compton native singing, “That pussy got a spell on me” over the beat from the 1986 Zapp song of the same name.
The “Morale Pack” leaks can be heard below:

And I’m 100 percent gonna pull up at whatever studio it is and I’m 100 percent gon’ beat your ass, on my momma.”
