Kendrick Lamar doesnt utilize social media like many of his peers, making a post from the Top Dawg Entertainment golden child a rarity. But on Friday (August 20), the exalted 34-year-old MC shared a post to his Instagram account with a link that led to a statement from Kendrick. And it appears to be an end of an era. As indicated in the post, Kendrick will deliver one final album for TDE and then call it quits with the label. I spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts, he begins. 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. He continues, 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 lifes calling. Theres beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. Ive prayed for you all. See you soon enough. Kendrick Lamar announces his final TDE album Read more
