Kendrick Lamar Already Working On New Album

Meanwhile, a recent interview revealed that K-Dot is busy creating the follow-up to his chart-topping Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers album while on tour. According to Lamar’s longtime production partner, Sounwave, he and Kendrick Lamar got right back at it. 

“Oh, we always start, immediately after,” Sounwave explained to Complex earlier this month. “Like, we’re starting on the next one now. That’s never going to change, all the way from the Kendrick Lamar EP. The next day, we started on Section.80. It’s just the ideas never stopped,” 

He also confirmed, “That’s one of the main reasons I go on tour with him, is to create the next album. We can’t skip a beat. We have to just keep it going. There’s no breaks. There’s no such thing as a vacation when you’re doing what you love. Everything you do is what you love to do, so you’re excited.”
