Ahead of the tour you better spend your summer following around the country, the TDE team is blessing fans with Black Panther: The Album. The album features lead single "All The Stars," as well as more songs curated and produced by Lamar and Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. For the batch of new original songs, Lamar worked closely with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler.

"Marvel Studios' Black Panther is amazing, from its cast to its director," Lamar said when announcing the album, which marks the first time he's been involved with such a project. "The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture."
