It cud be 2nite So don’t ask me jus stay close to the net.” (Kendrick retweeted that post, sly one that he is.)
Ive decided 2 drop a project 1 day this week. Further keeping fans on their toes, on Wednesday Tiffith took to his Instagram to say that one of those new projects would be released at random this week: “Just 2 show niggas I’m not playing. Dot, suggesting a new project might be imminent. In January 2016, he then debuted “Untitled 2” on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, having never formally released the first “Untitled.” During his scathing Grammys performance last month, Kendrick also rapped a new verse that some have labeled “Untitled 3.”Įarlier this week, Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith announced his label’s 2016 slate, teasing new releases from the entire roster - including Kendrick, with “?

Let’s take a look at the album’s backstory. How did we finally get untitled unmastered. That all changed when Kendrick dropped an unannounced new project out of the skies and onto Spotify last night, an eight-song treasure trove of untitled (and apparently unmastered), previously unreleased songs - including the Colbert and Fallon one-offs - less than a year after Butterfly.
