Kendrick Lamar has finally revealed the release date to his hotly anticipated third studio album.

Lamar tweeted a link on Friday afternoon (March 6) that directed followers to iTunes, where fans could pre-order his new album, with the release date being stated as March 23. Fans can certainly get excited to hear the album at the end of the month, as a rep for the Californian rapper has confirmed that the date is official.

Little else is revealed about the album however. At the time of writing there is no album artwork, there is no album title detailed and no track names are revealed either.

 

Lamar recently won a Grammy for best rap performance for his single ‘i’ and dropped his latest song ‘The Blacker The Berry’ days after the awards ceremony, the title being a nod to the Wallace Thurman novel of the same name.

 

Recently, Lamar caused controversy in an interview with Billboard by defending Iggy Azalea, saying: “She’s doing her thing. Let her. People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing, continue to rock it, because obviously God wants you here.”
