Kendrick Lamar fans reckon new music could be arriving tomorrow
Yesterday (20 October) Kendrick Lamar's Spotify profile picture was updated, and following multiple track snippets being leaked, fans are convinced his long-awaited return could be happening as soon as tomorrow (22 October).
Over the past few months Lamar has been teasing his highly-anticipated return, starting with a statement from Lamar himself, published in August, which saw him reveal that he was producing his "final TDE album". Last month a bunch of new songs were registered via the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), and in September he also contributed to three tracks on Baby Keem's the melodic blue album.
Last night (20 October) album speculation rumours reached a new peak after Lamar updated his Spotify profile picture for the first time since 2017. Numerous snippets of tracks, including one called "Therapy Session #9" also reportedly leaked online, and with the ninth anniversary of his good kid, m.A.A.d city approaching tomorrow (22 October), fans are convinced he could be returning with new music very soon, potentially tomorrow (22 October).
