Last night Kendrick Lamar's new album To Pimp A Butterfly became available on iTunes a week before its scheduled release date 3/23. Fans, critics, and TDE executives reacted to the surprise release, but so did some of the album's key collaborators, including experimental producer Flying Lotus.

So maybe some of these unreleased songs will end up making their way out of that folder after all. All bets are off these days given the total disregard for the 3/23 release date, right?
