Seven of the eight tracks on untitled, unmastered. can be dated back to 2014, in the period after his visit to South Africa. On Untitled 08 (09.06.2014) Kendrick randomly shouts out Cape Town. Throughout this project, he speaks with pride about his African heritage and, on Untitled 03 (05.28.2013), he brags endearingly, ‘Look at my heritage, we blessed.’

Kendrick Lamar’s body of work is challenging the intricacies of black life – drug abuse, police brutality, black on black violence – in an honest, reflective way. He celebrates his African roots with a sense of pride that’s raw and refreshing.

There’s been a clear shift in perspective since his visit to South Africa in 2014. This shift has spawned perhaps the most influential artist of our generation – King Kendrick!
