Surprise! There’s a brand new Kendrick Lamar album in the world. Well, it’s a little difficult to call it an official album per se. The title is untitled unmastered. and it’s eight tracks that have no titles and have not been properly mastered. In a sense, you could say these are outtakes and scraps that haven’t found a place on any of Kendrick’s albums up until this point. Each untitled track has a date associated with it, typically from 2013 or 2014, implying that’s when they were recorded. Kendrick’s label Top Dawg Entertainment apparently decided to release these cuts after Lebron James asked them to do so. Let’s thank him for this gift. I’ve only heard a few tracks so far, but they’re as solid as you might expect despite their context. Kendrick is the most talented rapper working today, and he hasn’t really had a bad release yet. So I strongly encourage you to check it out. Only available on Spotify for the time being, so head over there for a listen. Of course there’s plenty of other types of songs and artists for you to check out as part of today’s Pick Your Poison. That includes downloads from Crow’s Feet, Errant Boy, Kinder Than Wolves and Prince Rama. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream tracks from Azealia Banks, Beyond the Wizards Sleeve, Gallant, Howard, Into It. Over It., Jack Garratt (ft. Anderson .Paak), Juliana Hatfield (covering Elliott Smith), Kristin Kontrol (aka Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls), Pity Sex, What Moon Things and more.
