LeBron James Is to Thank for the Release of Kendrick Lamar's 'untitled unmastered.'

Much to the pleasant surprise of Kendrick Lamar fans, the seemingly random drop of the unexpected untitled unmastered. album comes with even further unexpectedness. The release is apparently all thanks to LeBron James, who claims to have knocked over the first domino when he tweeted TDE boss Anthony Tiffith asking him to come out with K. Dot’s unreleased tracks to add to the current hype from his recent Grammy performance, as told from the tweets below:

Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance , you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What’s up? Talk to me

LeBron’s claim is backed by Tiffith’s Instagram post that was published before the official release of the album, and cemented further from the caption that reads “Make site y’all thank @kingjames…”
