So it begs the question was LeBron James the reason behind the Grammy award winner’s new album release?
LeBron James’ role in Kendrick Lamar’s new album
Chris Paul’s acquaintance with Kendrick Lamar introduced Lamar into LeBron James’ life. Then the friendship only grew from there.
In 2016, after Lamar’s performance at the Grammy, LeBron tweeted and asked to release some of the untitled tracks. Anthony Tiffith was the CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment.
Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance , you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What’s up? Talk to me

And, it looked like Kendrick Lamar granted LeBron’s request and released a new album ‘Untitled Unmastered’ on Spotify. Anthony Tiffith also released a video saying that the fans should thank LeBron James for the release of the new album.
While it might just be a coincidence this time around, LeBron James and all the Kendrick Lamar fans would happy about the new announcement.
