Kendrick Lamar has confirmed that he is working on his final album for Top Dawg Entertainment.
Taking to social media on Friday, the rapper surprised fans was a link to a new website for something mysterious called ‘Oklama.’
The sparse website featured a folder titled ‘nu thoughts,’ and lead to a written statement from the rapper.
He wrote: ‘I spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts. Writing. Listening. And collecting old Beach cruisers. The morning rides keep me on a hill of silence. I go months without a phone.
‘Love, loss, and grief have disturbed my comfort zone, but the glimmers of God speak through my music and family. While the world around me evolves, I reflect on what matters the most. The life in which my words will land next.’
The Humble hitmaker continued: ‘As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The Struggles. The Success.
‘And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling.
He concluded: ‘There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I’ve prayed for you all. See you soon enough. -oklama.’
