Kendrick Lamar announces new album

On his song “The Heart Part 4”, Kendrick Lamar warned, “Y'all got till April 7 to get y'all s**t together.” When that day arrived, he revealed that his next album would arrive the next week on April 14. Now, he's shared the record's title: “DAMN”. He also revealed its artwork and track-list in a pair of Instagram posts.

The follow-up to 2015's “To Pimp a Butterfly” and last year's untitled “unmastered.” features Rihanna and U2 on songs called “Loyalty.” and “XXX.” respectively. It includes “HUMBLE.”, and credits Mike WiLL Made-It, BADBADNOTGOOD, the Alchemist, DJ Dahi, “J. Blake”, Sounwave, and others.

As a user on Reddit points out, Kendrick was wearing a shirt bearing the album title in the “HUMBLE.” video. In a tweet, BADBADNOTGOOD revealed that they worked on the track “LUST.” with DJ Dahi and Sounwave, and Kaytranada contributed vocals.
