It's been almost exactly a couple years since Kendrick Lamar dropped To Pimp A Butterfly, the Compton rapper's world-stopping third studio album.

So to prep for his next album, he did what only makes sense: wiped his Instagram clean and began the merciless teasing of what is to come next.

In an interview with The New York Times, Lamar explained where his focus is as he creates this forthcoming project.

“I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork,” he said. “To Pimp a Butterflywas addressing the problem. I’m in a space now where I’m not addressing the problem anymore.”

“We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God," he explained.

Feel free to share any more details whenever you're ready, Kendrick.
