A strange document credits Kanye West, Andre Benjamin, Rick Rubin, and D’Angelo as contributors to Kendrick’s next album.
The PDF was posted anonymously on Pastebin — hardly a credible source, but the contents of the document appear legitimate. If these credits are incorrect, it is unlikely that they were completely fabricated.
The album is 14 tracks long with a runtime of 74 minutes. Guest appearances include Kanye West, Andre 3000, D’Angelo, Q-Tip, Anderson .Paak, Bilal, Robert Glasper, and Thundercat. Producers include Kanye West, Terrace Martin, Sounwave, DJ Dahi, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Cardo, and Swizz Beatz. Rick Rubin’s name appears as an “additional producer” on several songs.
Kendrick strongly suggested on “The Heart Part 4” that he will release his next album on April 7th.
