Kendrick Lamar Pleases Fans with New Song on Instagram
Kendrick Lamar, known for shaking up the music industry with his unpredictable moves, has dropped a mysterious new track on Instagram. The five-minute loosie appeared with no title, no caption—just raw audio and a photo of Nike sneakers as the backdrop. While Lamar remains tight-lipped about the release, fans can stream it directly on his Instagram page, where the track has already ignited a frenzy of speculation.
A Departure from the Drake Feud
Surprisingly, the untitled release offers a break from Lamar’s recent string of fiery anti-Drake diss tracks. Over the past year, Kendrick has dropped five scathing songs aimed at Drake: “Like That,” “Euphoria,” “6:16 in LA,” “Meet the Grahams,” and the chart-topping “Not Like Us.” These tracks have only deepened the public feud between the two rap titans, turning their rivalry into a central narrative of 2024’s hip-hop scene. In fact, Lamar’s “Not Like Us” recently soared to the top of the Billboard charts, leaving Drake trailing behind. More on this chart success here.
This latest drop, however, sidesteps the ongoing drama. While it’s lyrically dense and introspective, it’s noticeably free of any direct shots at Drake. Fans are left wondering whether this marks a shift in focus for Lamar as he prepares for what might be one of his biggest career moments yet. However, the cover art does seem like a reference to “6:16 in LA.”
