Kendrick Lamar spent the past few weeks warning the world to get ready, putting his peers on notice via a thunderous new single called "HUMBLE." just a few days after informing us, "you got 'til April the seventh to get your shit together." Well, 4/7 is here, and... the album is coming out 4/14? An official iTunes pre-order page indicates as much. The 14-track project is simply listed as ALBUM for now, with a black square in place of album art. The one-week delay is definitely a bummer, but Kendrick's album will now arrive two days before he headlines Coachella. Until then, we wait.
UPDATE: As Reddit points out, among the album credits viewable on iTunes if you pre-order are BADBADNOTGOOD, Mike WiLL Made-It, J. Blake (James Blake?), and ... U2:
