A new podcast, and now this…

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys’s 5-year old son Egypt has produced his first rap beat. It’s been used on track five of Kendrick Lamar’s new album untitled unmastered, which is out now after being teased earlier this week by Top Dawg Entertainment label head Anthony Tiffith. The record exec also told fans to thank LeBron James for encouraging the drop. Two of the album’s tracks were first performed on episodes of The Colbert Report and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Tracklist and lyrics.
Rap nerds/purists, take note: Untitled 6 (ft Cee-Lo[!]) is produced by Ali Shaheed (of A Tribe Called Quest) and Adrian Younge (who deserves his own FPP one of these days)...
Enjoyed this. Jazz vibes all over it.

And I thought I was hot stuff when my kindergarten teacher displayed one of my paintings in the hallway. Egypt has to be the happiest five-year-old in the world right now.

I've listened to this album three times already this morning and it's perfect. untitled 05 is pure beauty. Kendrick is the man.

YAAAAAAAASSS I've been waiting for that track from Colbert Report to be more easily accessible (my YouTube ripped mp3 seems to have problems having the metadata recognized by Spotify as a local file).

Unfortunately I don't think the song he performed at the Grammy's is on there :(

Also, Kendrick has specified that these are all “demos from To Pimp A Butterfly”.

That makes a lot more sense. I was listening to track 5 thinking "this kid is a damned genius at 5, how the fuck". I mean if it is 5, I hope he had a lot of help because Jesus Christ

Track 5 is a different song, compare its lyrics to the one from the grammys (you can listen to that performance here, at 4:10)
