When is Kendrick Lamar releasing his ‘Final TDE Album?’

Kendrick Lamar announced to his followers that he was working on his latest album after being silent on social media for some time.

The rapper released a statement on Instagram, saying: “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. 

He continued: “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. -oklama.”

Responding to Lamar’s note, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, CEO and founder of Top Dawg Entertainment released a statement about the rapper’s album, saying: “With this being Dot’s last album on TDE, this is more of a VICTORY LAP, a celebration. 

“I know he will be successful in whatever it is he decides to do and will have our FULL support.”

It is still unknown when Lamar will release the album.

He also shared a post on Instagram that features a digital image of a folder with the words “nu thoughts” written underneath.
