According to hip-hop media executive and the host of Apple Music’s Rap Life Review, Ebro Darden, Kendrick Lamar will be releasing a new single this week. Lamar’s camp confirmed to the show that the rapper will be dropping a brand new single ahead of his performance at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. 

On yesterday’s episode of Rap Life Review (February 9), the topic of Lamar releasing new music was being discussed before Darden said: “What I’m reading here provided by our producer Sasha… the way this reads, it sounds like it’s confirmed that we will get a single from Kendrick Lamar before his performance.”

He went on to read out exactly what was written, quoting, “with the release of his single to be debuted ahead of the performance.”

Earlier this month, an inside source told Billboard that a new single from Lamar may arrive in February.

Kendrick Lamar hasn’t released an album since 2017’s ‘Damn‘ but did curate the soundtrack to 2018’s Black Panther. The California emcee appeared on Baby Keem’s debut album on the tracks “range brothers” and “family ties.” This single will be his first solo release in five years. The emcee is set to release his final album with Top Dawg Entertainment. 

On Sunday (February 13), Kendrick Lamar will join  Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige on stage at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, for the Super Bowl Halftime show.
