Kendrick Lamar has revealed that he is currently working on his final album for ‘TDE’.
It’s been four years since his last album Damn and now the rapper is gearing up for his new album. He shared a message on a new website, oklama.com, saying he is currently working on his “final” album for Top Dawg Entertainment, the label where he began his career.
In a cryptically worded post on a new website linked from his Instagram account, he is apparently saying farewell to his longtime label and management company, Top Dawg Entertainment.
“As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years,” he wrote in part. “The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling. There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown.”
The message is the only content on the mysterious website, www.oklama.com, and appears when one clicks on a yellow folder titled “nu thoughts”; presumably “Okalama” ties into the new album in some way.
TDE founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith responded with a statement of his own.
“With this being Dot’s last album on TDE, this is more of a VICTORY LAP, a celebration. I know he will be successful in whatever it is he decides to do and will have our FULL support.”
Lamar’s fourth album, Damn was the first non-classical and non-jazz album awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Music, although he quickly followed that album with the soundtrack to 2018’s Marvel blockbuster Black Panther: The Album, for which he wrote and produced 14 songs.
