Finally! A new Kendrick Lamar album is on its way. May 13th!
August 28th, 2021
Kendrick Lamar posted a teaser on a new website (oklama.com):
I spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts. Writing.
Listening. And collecting old Beach cruisers. The
morning rides keep me on a hill of silence.I go months without a phone.
Love, loss, and grief have disturbed my comfort zone,
but the glimmers of God speak through my music and
family.While the world around me evolves, I reflect on what
matters the most. The life in which my words will
land next.As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been
a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The
Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the
Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg
as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue
my life’s calling.There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in
the unknown.Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I’ve prayed
for you all.See you soon enough.

Lamar signed the message with Oklama (a reference to Obama, replacing the ‘b’ with Lamar’s initials?).
Early 2022 Lamar announced a couple of festivalshows, also in Europe. Nothing on new music, until April 18th, 2022:
No tracklist and or pictures have been revealed yet, but this is (more than) good news.
King Kendrick is back!
