I think this post would get DMCA’d if I link to a leak, which would also get DMCA’d. Here is a link to a Twitter search where you should be able to figure it out

People think that K-Dot is rolling out something big this Friday on the nine-year anniversary of “good kid, m.A.A.d city.”

[F]ans are convinced that a new album is closer to being released than we think. On Wednesday (October 20), several leaks surfaced online, approximately six at last count, and they have caused a stir on social media.

[H]e changed his Spotify photo—which was later changed back to the original […]

One leak in particular titled “Therapy Session #9” has quickly circulated [..] There have been rumors that the Kendrick rollout begins this Friday as October 22 marks the nine-year anniversary of good kid, m.A.A.d city.

Background

2 months ago, Kendrick Lamar posted a note called “nu thoughts” on 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.

and Top Dawg posted on IG:

he whole goal when we started this was to make music, make money and make history. We did those things 10 times over and then some. TDE and its artists have provided a way to end generational curses that we were all personally born into over the last 17 years in the business.

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.

As for Top Dawg Entertainment, we will continue to grow, develop and give artists the platform to expand into whatever way they choose.
