We might expect a new Lamar album soon, as the rapper had signed an exclusive global deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.

The follow-up to the highly regarded DAMN, which was released back in 2017 under Warner Chappell Music Publishing, should see its light of day in the near future. Kendrick however did work behind much of the original soundtrack for the 2018 film Black Panther.

“Kendrick Lamar is not only one of the greatest lyricists that has ever lived, but he has done as much or more than any artist to promote much-needed change in our society through music,” UMPG Chairman and CEO Jody Gerson said about the deal.

“I and my colleagues at UMPG are deeply honored to be afforded the opportunity to join Kendrick, Anthony ‘Top Dawg’ Tiffith and the TDE family to help forward his unique and important vision.”
