Kanye West & Kendrick Lamar Appear on Two Unreleased Tracks
Plus NAV.
UPDATE [18:28:45 EST March 24, 2018]: A YouTube video has been replaced for the previous SoundCloud accounts with titled tracks now removed.
Following news of an upcoming biography project called The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America, Kendrick makes headlines for going hard on two unreleased tracks collaborated with YEEZY king Kanye West.
The leaked demos, “Don’t Jump” and “Liberated,” surfaced Friday morning. On the first raw recording, we hear fierce rap from Lamar describing deep past angst. It’s unknown what these verses were recorded for. According to The Boombox, Kanye West has boasted to fans “Me and Kendrick got 40 songs, and me and Young Thug got 40 songs” on his now closed Twitter account. The second track titled, “NAV Hendrix ft. Kanye West & Kendrick Lamar – Liberated (FSMH DEMO) [prod. NAV]” is fully loaded with Kendrick pulling through Kanye’s “Father Stretch My Hand Pt.1” with intensity to convey his rise from the angry past rapped about in the former demo. As teased, it’s possible FSMH refers to NAV’s “Freshman” tour. Will the two make a cameo at rising NAV’s concerts?
