Kendrick Lamar just quietly dropped a brand new album. 

On Thursday evening, something mysterious appeared on Kendrick's Spotify page: something called untitled unmastered., composed of eight equally mysterious untitled tracks, with dates ranging from 2013 to this year. Hip-hop n More was the first to discover it. 

A few hours later, all eight tracks, with their "retro-futuristic, Funkadelic-inspired grooves," were available for download on iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal.
