Kendrick Lamar's "[Untitled]" is out March 23rd.

Last weekend, we got the title of Kanye West's new album and now we've gotten similar news for another one of the year's most anticipated projects. Kendrick Lamar's new album just appeared for preorder on iTunes with a title and release date. As of now, the album is being called [Untitled] and will drop March 23rd.

That's all the info we have now, as it looks like the cover art is just a black square and no tracklist has been shared yet. That being said, a screenshot from iTunes (in the gallery above) shows 16 tracks on the project. Let the rest of the speculation begin now, but at least we have some form of concrete info. Let us know if you're excited about this one.

[Update: Official Artwork & Title Revealed]

Well here it is! After much speculation, Kendrick Lamar finally reveals the official cover art to his highly anticipated album, To Pimp A Butterfly!

Released via Instagram Wednesday morning, the black & white cover features a mob of black men standing in front of the White House and flashing their middle fingers, wads of cash, and liquor bottles all while an old white judge lay on the ground with "x" through his eyes.

Here's the caption K. Dot wrote with the post:

“Don’t all dogs go to heaven? Don’t Gangsta’s boogie? Do owl shit stank? Lions, Tigers & Bears. But TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. Its the American dream nigga….” – lil Homie.

Thoughts on the title and artwork?
