LeBron James Previews Kendrick Lamar’s New Album, ‘DAMN.’ on Instagram Live [Watch]

Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James is the apparent plug when it comes to new music from TDE.

On Thursday (Apr. 13), the NBA champion teased fans with some clips and previews of Kendrick Lamar‘s DAMN. album via his Instastory on Instagram.

The day before Kendrick Lamar is slated to release his newest album, LeBron James teased snippets of Damn. giving his opinion on each track and from the looks and sounds of it, James is impressed.

LeBron has long been a huge fan of the Compton rapper. In February 2016, he wrote to Top Dawg Entertainment‘s Anthony Tiffith on Twitter, suggesting that Lamar and Tiffith should “release those untitled tracks asap.” Upon the surprise release of Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered. the following month, Tiffith wrote on Instagram, “Thank @kingjames for this.”

In other King James news, LeBron is making headlines after asserting that the Cavs will head to the playoffs. According to reports, despite their recent lackluster performance, James is confident that the team will indeed be in the playoffs.

“We’re in a position where we can do something special, still,”  James said. “At the end of the day, I’m not one to harp on what happened with the regular season through injuries, through bad losses, through good wins, whatever the case may be. We have a good club going into the postseason. That’s all you can ask for.”

The Cavs are not the No. 1 seed in the East, but that shouldn’t be a huge concern. At some point during the playoffs, a championship-caliber team needs to win on the road. In the previous six seasons, James’ teams have not been the top seed four times (with Miami in 2011, 2012, 2014 and with Cleveland in 2015) and his teams still reached the Finals.

“I’ve felt very confident no matter if I was a 1 or 2 seed or whatever seed I was,” James said. “I’ve just felt confident that I can go into any building and win. I believe our team feels the same way this year. I got the answer. I’m not giving it to you, but I got the answer why I feel we have a great chance.”

K. Dot’s DAMN. album is set to be released April 14.
