What direction y'all think Kendrick is going in on his next album?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

I feel like it's gonna be a DAMN. type record where it's still an overarching theme but more subdued to focus on rapping

Sound wise, I expect to see a variety of production styles. Some g funk, boom bap, trap, a baby keem collab, some singing joints, and maybe end we'll finally get the rock songs that have been rumored for so long

What features and producers do yall think he should work with though?

In addition to the expected Soundwav and alchemist beats, I wanna see him work with no i.d., timberland, and Tyler

Maybe conductor Williams if he's not compromised

A lot of rappers would be nice, but I really want a black hippy reunion for a posse cut

That would be a great way to close out the album

But what yall think?

 

[Knucklehead]

I would love to hear a West Coast sounding album with a Sly and The Family Stone influence. Have always felt Kendrick has a certain kinship with Sly.
Unification of oppressed people would be a big theme of the album.

 

[GilSho]

He's definitely going to drop a way more commercial sounding album like DAMN especially after the backlash Mr. Morale received. Fresh off that beef, it'll be like printing money too.

I think it's going to either be his penultimate or last album as well.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

im expecting a flute or possible soprano sax album

edit: to be serious i do think it will be more like DAMN. i wanna get more 6:16 in LA type tracks where hes spitting over soulful beats

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

I actually hope we get that rock album that was mentioned. Kendrick welcomes the challenge of new sounds and direction, so I would be interested to see how he would approach this theme.

Don’t know, but it’s almost June. I need him to let us know for real if he’s dropping, fukk surprise albums and last minute announcements

No. Mr Morale was experimental enough, I’d like an approachable banger from him this album, not some other “pushing the line for the sake of it” project. Make that the untitled part 2

 

[Sad Bunny]

I hope it isn’t cookie cutter typical songs like these other nikkaz

 

[PatCake]

I don't know we'll see when he drops it in 2030.

 

[Da_Eggman]

i'm betting he has RIRI, Taylor and a few other big time guests

this will be his biggest album ever so i think he going to go all in and aim for stadium anthems

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Light and fun record for once. That joint personified depression and a need for therapy. Even for the listener.

 

[darealvelle]

Just make sure these guys are on the production credits:

• Willie B
• Digi+Phonics.
• Sounwave.
• Tae Beast

Interestingly enough Drake uncle was a founding member with Sly

 

[thaKEAF]

I feel the same as OP. I feel like this one will be more accessible like DAMN. I’m sure he will have a lot to say but I don’t expect it to be as heavy as Mr Morale.

That album was dog shyt
