Kendrick Lamar has reminded mostly quiet since his last album, ‘DAMN,’ in 2017.

However, the rapper revealed the reason as to why it has taken him so long to release a follow-up project in a new interview with i-D.

His words below:

“I spend the whole year just thinking about how I’m gonna execute a new sound, I can’t do the same thing over and over. I need something to get me excited.”

While the ‘Humble’ rapper has yet to announce the follow-up to ‘DAMN,’ rumors have begun to swirl this year that the project is not far off.

In March, his collaborator, Thundercat, said that a new album was in the works. Additionally, Lamar was reportedly spotted filming a new music video in L.A. back in September.

Could new music be upon us?
