Whether the surprise release of Kendrick Lamar’s new album To Pimp a Butterfly last night was planned or a total mistake, now that’s it’s out in the world, we’re starting to learn a little bit of the story behind the record. Flying Lotus produced the incredible opening track, which features the legendary George Clinton and Thundercat, and last night he shared some interesting information about the genesis of To Pimp a Butterfly on Twitter.
FyLo touched on Kendrick’s vision for the album, the influence of his side-project Captain Murphy, and how it all started during the Yeezus tour. Check out the tweets below and listen to Kendrick’s album on Spotify here.
UPDATE: To Pimp A Butterfly has been removed from iTunes and is now only available to pre-order. Details here.
