"Unitled Unmastered" has eight tracks, and it sticks with the same soulful, jazz-influenced sound heard on "To Pimp a Butterfly." And while we've all probably tweeted at artists to release new music - we're looking at you, Frank Ocean - we're not LeBron James. King James tweeted the CEO of Lamar's label Top Dawg Entertainment asking for the Grammy-winning rapper to release the untitled tracks. So who do we have to thank for the Compton emcee's latest unexpected release? Well, oddly enough, it could be NBA All-Star LeBron James. If you recognize some of the tracks, that's because he performed many of the songs live during various TV appearances, like "The Tonight Show" and the final episode of "The Colbert Report." "Untitled Unmastered" is King Kendrick's fourth album, but Lamar says the unmastered tracks are essentially leftovers from "To Pimp a Butterfly." As if 11 Grammy nods, five Grammy wins and a platinum album weren't enough, Kendrick Lamar blessed us with new music overnight.
