Black Hippy

Get this: Kendrick Lamar's long-awaited, highly-anticipated followup to his 2012 breakthrough album good kid, m.A.A.d city, To Pimp a Butterfly will be out in roughly ten days! And so far the rollout has been pretty swift; from "i," to "The Blacker the Berry," an intense performance on The Colbert Report, and the ultimate unveiling of the album title and artwork. It's all starting to come together. And now it looks like we are being treated to the much-talked about but shrouded in mystery track "King Kunta." "King Kunta" finds K-Dot in a similiar lane as "i" with its funky musical backdrop and live instrumentation. The track, however, has K-Dot doing a little bit more with the lyrical content, going in on racial themes and black empowerment. It's certainly no surprise that Pharrell has called the song "so unapologetically black." Go ahead and listen to it yourself after the jump!

It's no secret, Ab-Soul can spit. And that's precisely what he does on this new joint entitled "47 Bars." Produced by Alchemist, Soulo dropped the track via Soundcloud and wrote on his Twitter page that he "might get dropped from the label for this." Check out "47 Bars" after the jump.

Kendrick Lamar had himself a field day at the 57th Grammy Awards, winning multiple awards for his new single "i." But Kendrick season is approaching ever so closely, with TDE dropping another new cut. This time the happiness is left at the door and King Kendrick embraces the dark side, going completely ham for six minutes straight. Listen to the Boi-1da, The KOZ and Terrace Martin produced "The Blacker the Berry" after the jump.

Top Dawg Entertainment president Punch does more than handle the paperwork. Prior to delivering this here gem, Punch has been dropping fire tracks left and right, including (but not limited to) "My Darling Nicki." Now Punch has recruited TDE's golden child Kendrick Lamar for "25" despite never advertising the track as "featuring Kendrick Lamar." Bold move, Punch. Listen to "25" after the jump.
