Kendrick Lamar’s TDE Teases New Music
TDE did not specify which artist under the label would be putting out new material, but fans were upfront with who they wanted to hear from, naming Kendrick in droves. Although Kendrick was a clear favorite, other TDE artists like Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad, ScHoolboy Q and SZA are also promising candidates.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith (CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment) sent the internet into a storm after tweeting a cryptic message hinting at an upcoming release on May 7th. Neither Kendrick Lamar nor SZA has dropped an album since 2017, and there’s plenty of rumors that new music is on the horizon. Likewise, some fans are equally optimistic that the date is for one of TDE’s cult favorites like Isaiah Rashad or Ab-Soul who have been mysteriously quiet for an even longer period.
“THE WAIT IS OVAH!!!!”
Ab-Soul Says Kendrick Lamar Album Is On The Way
In January 2021, TDE artist Ab-Soul went on Twitter to talk about his next album, which fans have been waiting for since 2016’s Do What Thou Wilt. Ab-Soul tweeted that his next project is “on the way,” and when a fan asked if that “on the way” also refers to Kendrick Lamar, he replied simply “Yup.”
Kendrick Lamar’s 2021 European Comeback
In December 2020, it was announced that Kendrick Lamar will headline Denmark’s Roskilde Festival in June 2021. The lauded lyricist has popped up with a few cameos here and there but has been mostly quiet since dropping the Grammy-winning “Damn” album in 2017.
We are on the threshold of a new year, and we think there is a need and reason to be hopeful. That’s why we’re revealing another act for next year’s festival (#rf50). We’re thrilled to announce that rapper, songwriter, producer, Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) will return to the festival in 2021. An artist like Kendrick Lamar doesn’t just make music that fits our current age, he also helps shape it. He is capable of giving a voice to those who might be needing it, and this kind of artist is essential to have right now. Have a great New Year and see you in 2021!
