The Game made the reveal in a recent Instagram Live chat with his social media followers. According to the “Hate it or Love It” rapper, he recently received an inside tip from Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith that Lamar will drop some new music “real soon.”

“So, you know, who knows how real soon that it but if Kendrick is working, that s*** is always major,” said The Game.

Rumors about Lamar’s new album have been circling for a while. The Grammy Award-winning rapper was spotted filming a music video in late 2020 while his engineer MixedByAli said back in April that the fans could expect a follow-up to Damn “this year.”

Since the release of his last studio effort, the only major project Kendrick Lamar worked on was Black Panther: The Album in 2018. Lamar curated the soundtrack while appearing on five tracks, including “King’s Dead” alongside Jay Rock, Future, and James Blake. The song ended up winning the Best Rap Performance at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.

Lamar also had several sporadic guest features, appearing on SiR’s “Hair Down” and 2 Chainz’s “Momma I Hit a Lick” in 2019.

The only other hip-hop material to match Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits, which will soon hit 500 weeks on the charts. However, this is the greatest hits compilation and doesn’t fall in the category of studio albums.

Good Kid, M.A.A.D City was released in October 2012 and was Kendrick Lamar’s first studio effort for a major label. The album launched Lamar into hip-hop mainstream, debuting at No.2 on the US Billboard 200 and becoming the best-selling debut from a male artist that year.

The record, which featured tracks “The Recipe,” “Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Backseat Freestyle,” and “Poetic Justice,” also received widespread acclaim from the critics and was named the Album of the Year by several publications. It also earned Lamar five Grammy Award nominations.

Lamar later followed Good Kid, M.A.A.D City with equally, if not better, received albums To Pimp A Butterfly and DAMN..

Besides Kendrick Lamar, the soundtrack features numerous other artists including SZA, Travis Scott, Mozzy, Zacari, ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz, Jay Rock, Future, the Weeknd, Vince Staples, James Blake, Khalid, Swae Lee, and Ab-Soul among others.

Kendrick Lamar was hand-picked by Black Panther’s director Ryan Coogler to be the producer of the soundtrack. Although Lamar initially intended to do just a couple of songs for Black Panther’s soundtrack, he changed his decision after watching the majority of the movie and decided to do a full album. The 30-year-old rapper started working on the ideas for the songs during his Damn Tour, and proceeded with the work in late 2017.

The first single from the album, titled “All the Stars“ and featuring SZA, was released in January 2018 and met with generally positive reviews from the critics. Two more songs, “King’s Dead” (featuring Lamar, Jay Rock, Future and James Blake) and “Pray for Me” (featuring Lamar and The Weeknd) followed soon, meeting with a similar response.

The movie Black Panther is set for release in the United States on February 16, 2018.
