Kendrick Lamar may have a new album on the way as the Compton MC just revealed a message on his Instagram with the Roman numerals IV. IV could mean Kendrick Lamar’s fourth album and this could possibly be the artwork and title as well.
Kendrick also deleted all his other photos as well besides the cryptic IV.
Kendrick’s last album was the critically acclaimed 2015 To Pimp a Butterfly and last year he gave the people something to snack on with the compilation project untitled unmastered.
With so much turmoil going in the world right now, a few messages and inspiration from K.Dot would be perfect timing. In an interview with T Magazine, he spoke on his upcoming album saying,
“I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork.To Pimp a Butterfly was addressing the problem. I’m in a space now where I’m not addressing the problem anymore. We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.”
We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
In related news, Kendrick will also headline Coachella 2017. He was originally scheduled to co-headline with Beyoncé who had to back out as she’s expecting twins with husband Jay Z.
Other performers at Coachella 2017 will be fellow headliner Radiohead as well as Gucci Mane, Lil Uzi Vert, Future, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott and Schoolboy Q just to name a few.
Coachella goes down in April. Peep the official lineup and dates here.
