Kendrick Lamar releases untitled unmastered

Kendrick Lamar unexpectedly released untitled unmastered. last night (March 3), which is a collection of unreleased tracks that he reportedly had stashed for live television performances.

Based on what the staff over at Genius says, untitled unmastered. features production and guest spots from regular collaborators like Terrace Martin, SZA, Jay Rock, Punch, Sounwave and Thundercat and contributions from producers like Swizz Beatz, Hit-Boy, Bizness Boi, Nard & B and A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad. One of the most notable names on the list is Swizz Beatz’ son, Egypt Dean. The five-year-old is given credit on the track “untitled 07 2014-2016″, Swizz Beatz took to social media to congratulate Egypt Dean and thank Kendrick Lamar for the opportunity. After the release of the project, Cardo went to Twitter and hinted that more sessions could be expected. “But there’s so much more in store, believe that. Just keep your eyes open,” he tweeted. “Not just 1…but 2.” Lamar also revealed that these songs are demos from early To Pimp A Butterfly sessions.
