UPDATE: Listen to the full song on this link!
Finally!
Kendrick Lamar is getting ready to release the first single from his highly anticipated sophomore album this coming Tuesday, September 23rd. It is interestingly titled ‘(i) (love myself)‘.
The title was somewhat accidentally revealed by video production company WatchLOUD last week but not too many paid attention to it. The news stemmed from the private dinner that IGA (Interscope Geffen A&M) and Clear Channel hosted for radio personalities last week.
But now as this Twitter user points out, the date and exact title of Kendrick’s single (along with Gwen Stefani’s ‘Baby Don’t Lie’ and Fergie’s ‘L.A.LOVE (La La)’) was posted on the IGA website but was taken down shortly after that.
UPDATE: We have confirmed with sources that the real title of the song is ‘I’.
UPDATE 2: Kendrick Lamar himself releases the official single cover:
UPDATE 3: MTV reports that the song is produced by regular collaborator Rahki and samples Isley Broters’ Who’s That Lady‘. We’re excited to hear the final product!
