The Evolution of Kendrick Lamar’s Cover Art From His First EP to "DAMN"
On Kendrick Lamars new single, The Heart Part 4, he fired off a rather ferocious warning:
Yall got till April 7 to get yall together.
Many assumed thats when the Compton rapper was dropping his next album. Turns out he was simply whetting our appetite for the album, which will be released on April 14.
Hours before the clock hit midnight on his April 7 deadline, the pre-order for Lamars new record appeared on iTunes.There arent many details about the project his first proper studio album since 2015s "To Pimp a Butterfly. Neither the title, cover art nor tracklist was revealed when the pre-order went live.
Currently bearing the placeholder title of ALBUM with a black album cover, the 14-track project includes the Mike WiLL Made-It-produced banger Humble, whose accompanying video sparked much celebration, and debate, about lamars representation of black women.
Humble is the only song title listed on the pre-order link. The Heart Part 4, his fourth entry in a career-spanning series of freestyles, isnt listed here.
Last year, Lamar issued "Untitled Unmastered, a collection of recordings pulled from the To Pimp a Butterfly sessions.
The arrival of Lamars new album is just in time for his gig at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival next weekend. Two days after its release, he will close out the festival with a headlining show that will see the live debut of his new material.
