Just half an hour before April 7 — the day of fate named on “The Heart Part 4” — arrived, Kendrick Lamar shares the release date for his fourth studio album, which is April 14.
The album is available for pre-order on iTunes, although the title and tracklist are not yet revealed. The cover art is a black square, which might be the cover art or we might be waiting for placement of the official cover art to come.
This is the follow-up to the Grammy Award-winning battle cry that was To Pimp a Butterfly.
While there is little known about the new project, K.Dot has released the single “Humble.” with presumed shots at Big Sean but it also put on for the homies.
Check out What We Know About Kendrick Lamar’s Upcoming Album (Even If It Isn’t Much) while we wait one more week.
This kinda pissed me off.
What a dick. I would’ve passed out a couple hours ago, I have work at 5am lol.
I hate how artists have to be all mysterious with release dates nowadays. Just give us a date! I remember when Dmx would drop albums…. a date was it and it always dropped on that date. Things changed when the internet streams took over.
Im tight too, but man i like that at least he giving us a week to digest Joey’s album. Its 2 dope artists that should both get recognition. in the misdt of mumble rap , we getting true MC’s dropping heat .
And look at DMX now after he consistently dropping on scheduled release dates – he’s a crackhead. The pressure to meet deadlines forced him to turn to drugs. Is that what you want to happen all artists Tommy? You want artists to jeopardise their health so you can get your music sooner? You make me sick.
K Williams, are you mentally retarded? I’m serious… Dmx wasn’t pushed to drugs from pressure. He was a drug addict for over 10 years before his debut album. Always has been a druggy.
You mean i waited all week just to hear kDot drops next week. bull $#!t. at least let go of another single. smh #datsthatbull! GOODNIGHT
We’ve been hosed A1X, we’ve been hosed. LOL. We’ve all been, I can listen to TPAB for 1 more week.
What’s crazy, is Kendrick stole the spotlight from Joey with anticipation.
he stole the spotlight form drake too
look at the charts… everything from more life is sinking.
i guess that’s what happens when you make pop music thats one and done.
You can’t rush fine art. That’s exactly what we should expect to hear whenever this drops.
Rubbish. At this point there will very likely be no clearances, recording or changes to the product being completed. This is just marketing and distribution to create buzz. TDE has the best artists on the worst business model. RIP SZA.
What about mastering? He probably needs the time to dot the i’s & cross the t’s in order to release a great album.
Interscope’s whole secrecy thing is getting really boring now . . .
Was he promotin Joey’s album? cuz I see so many K dot fans sayin “at least we got time to listen to that joey”. i swear to god they were hatin on him like a second ago and half of em didn’t even know him.
This is dope. He said he wants to bring God back so the album probably have a lot of biblical quotes and whatnot. Also, in the humble video he has a scene from the last supper where his Jesus. And, the album is dropping in easter on the day Jesus was crucified. Nice symbolic work right there. Good promo.
Finally a real hip-hop artist. We’re tired of the drake-minajDX.com. Hope he drops another classic
Be Humble. He’s calling out all these rent-a-swag fake rappers
You give this elf too much credit.
its funny because kendrick didn’t have to switch up his style like drake to make a #1 song lol
Billboard hot 100? Kendrick never had a number 1 hit on there lol and I’m a Kendrick fan
You’s a lie. (I typed it like that on purpose. He’s had about 14 on there.
He will only drop when Drake wants.
isnt views 2.0 falling off the charts right now… because drake’s music is disposable lately?
Title is going to be “GOOD Kid, GOOD FRIDAY”
Judgin from the production credits it might be his “trappiest” sounding project yet, which Im not really happy about but a lot of people probably are…
Im just waiting on RUSHMORE – Cannabisativa dropping 4-20 gonna be the hip hop album of the year
smh if TDE/Interscope was smart they would’ve dropped the album today like he said in the song. The anticipation will go down in the next week and sales won’t be as strong as they could have. People will want to hear it but not as much as they did this week. People’s attention span is extremely short these days when it comes to music.
THe industry doesnt spend advertising money for rap artist promotions anymore. The new trend is announce it on social media nd rush release it within 2 weeks to create a free buzz. The industry doesnt make money off these rappers like that anymore. Long gone are the days where they sold half a million cds
Whoever was going to get it this week will get it next week. Not like there’s much else out there or any reason to change people’s minds. You don’t make any sense. Anticipation has been up for a while. I doubt one week or one month has any effect.
Shoulda dropped April 7 like he said won’t sell like he did in past. And all these Drake haterz no reason hate the 6god! 1.2 mills and 500k plus views and More Life KDot be lucky crack 325k. Boy nice out he needs a chart topper number 1 song then u can be in the talks.
drake stans in denial. 1 million 1st week to barely 500k is called falling off.
kendrick’s new project beat Snore Life’s 1st week sales easily.
drake stans also MAD. when was the last time Drake had a top 5 rap record like HUMBLE? Never… he had to switch up his style and sing like a clown to get sales LMFAO!
Always thought ppl we’re either BSing when complaining of deleted posts but I guess hhdx actually does have Steven Richards out here censoring shit. K.Dot is fantastic, however it’s been a steady decline for “hip hop’s savior” and I was just voicing how underwhelming he’s been of late. Oh well, guess I have to say some ignant shit or kiss Kendrick’s ass to stay on here.
Anyone notice all the Jay Z disses on Portland?
some of yall sound like spoiled brats and/or B-A-Ns
Anyone not d-riding Kendrick is getting their comments removed…SMH DX
