Listen to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘King Kunta’

Taken from the new album, ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’

Hear Kendrick Lamar’s ‘King Kunta’

The third take from Kendrick Lamar’s forthcoming second LP ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ has emerged online.

‘King Kunta’ is a funk-leaning taste of what to expect, linking up with the powerful ‘The Blacker The Berry’ and last year’s single ‘i’. When Pharrell Williams first heard the new song, he called it “unapologetically black,” reports Rolling Stone.

The follow up to ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ is due out 23rd March. Kendrick confirmed the release just two weeks back, and a full tracklist for the album has recently been announced.
