Kendrick Lamar has released a surprise new album. It’s called untitled unmastered., and it’s out right now on iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, and Google Play, via Aftermath/Interscope/Top Dawg Entertainment. It’s the follow-up to last year’s To Pimp a Butterfly. Details of the project first emerged tonight. Kendrick previously performed untitled tracks on “The Colbert Report” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” He also performed an unreleased verse at this year’s Grammys ceremony. Revisit those performances below.
