In response, Kendrick Lamar provided a link that led to a statement about his upcoming album. It read,
“The following statement was released today by oklama, through his company pgLang at 11:00 am PT in Los Angeles, California. … All factual information for this release will come directly from this source only.”
It added,
“Appreciate your patience.”
K-Dot released his fourth studio album, DAMN. in 2017, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified three times platinum. The rapper hasn’t released much music since then. However, he did contribute to Marvel’s Black Panther soundtrack in 2018, which earned him an Oscar nomination for best original song and two Grammy nominations for his song All the Stars featuring SZA. He also gave his cousin, fellow rapper Baby Keem, 21, a few features for his debut album The Melodic Blue.
It was reported in September 2021 that he had registered several new songs with ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers), prompting speculation that his fifth studio album was coming sooner than later.
