But while Kanye has said he’ll likely drop his new LP Beyoncé-style [without warning](http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/kanye-west-announces-new-surprise-album-so-help-me-god-10077897.html "undefined"), Lamar confirmed Friday that his record is due in just a few weeks. On March 23, he’ll release a new collection of 16 songs that includes his most recent track, [“The Blacker the Berry.”](http://time.com/3702221/kendrick-lamar-new-song-the-blacker-the-berry/ "undefined") (Oddly, last year’s [“i”](http://time.com/3421796/kendrick-lamar-new-song-i/ "undefined") doesn’t appear to have made the cut, judging by the [iTunes pre-order tracklisting](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/untitled/id974187289 "undefined")). The record doesn’t have a title (it’s just listed as _\[Untitled\]_) nor does it have much of a cover — for now it’s a big black square. _Read next:_ [_Listen to Kanye West’s New Single ‘All Day’_](http://time.com/3728939/kanye-west-all-day-so-help-me-god/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3736310/kendrick-lamar-untitled-album/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3736310/kendrick-lamar-untitled-album/"},"headline":"Kendrick Lamar's New Album Finally Has a Release Date","datePublished":"2015-03-07T16:23:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:59:29.529Z","description":"The rapper's untitled work drops March 23","url":"https://time.com/3736310/kendrick-lamar-untitled-album/","keywords":["Music","Kanye West","Kendrick Lamar"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdee3ea07a80fd5bc/69876f61e53aba25c64d699b/kendrick-lamar.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdee3ea07a80fd5bc/69876f61e53aba25c64d699b/kendrick-lamar.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"State Farm All-Star Saturday Night - NBA All-Star Weekend 2014","caption":"State Farm All-Star Saturday Night - NBA All-Star Weekend 2014","creditText":"Mike Coppola—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3736310/kendrick-lamar-untitled-album/","name":"Kendrick Lamar's New Album Finally Has a Release Date"}}]}] ```
