With his new album set to drop in two weeks, Kendrick Lamar dropped by Big Boy's radio show this morning to talk about the project and more. To start the conversation, Kendrick confirmed that while the project does have a title, he is not ready to reveal it at this time, but it is expected soon with the album dropping on March 23. He also touched on the overall success of TDE, and said that he is very proud of ScHoolboy Q and that Jay Rock is currently working on some crazy music. Kendrick also talked about his two Grammy wins this year, and revealed that he couldn't make it to the actual awards because he was working and finishing up the album.
With today being the anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.'s death, the crew had Kendrick spit of over a number of Biggie instrumentals, while he flexed his insane lyrical muscle the entire time. During the interview, Kendrick spit over Biggie's "Respect," "The What," and "Kick in the Door" instrumentals. Kendrick has yet to reveal the tracklist for the upcoming album, which will reportedly feature 16 songs, but the project is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.
Listen to Kendrick's freestyle over "The What" below, and stay tuned for footage of the entire segment soon.
