Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty We Might Get A New Kendrick Album Sometime Next Year Kendrick Lamar could have some new material coming sooner than we all think… During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times , Lamar debunked rumors that he was working on the follow-up to his 2017 masterpiece DAMN. “He claims he hasn’t been working on a new album, but says that he’s constantly working,” the interview mentions when speaking on potential new music from the star.

In September, Kenny’s TDE labelmate, Isaiah Rashad claimed he had heard the rapper’s forthcoming album, but a few days later, TDE head Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith announced that a Kendrick album wasn’t dropping anytime soon. All signs point to Kendrick not having a new album in the works….but we’ll go with the little glimmer of hope that he does have one in the stash instead. Continue reading →
