Kendrick Lamar wows fans with impeccable album

This is after the rapper was missing in action for close to a decade despite the constant calls by fans for him to drop an album.

He first gave fans a taste of what was expected when he dropped The Heart Part where he insinuated that he may have privately gotten married and had two babies.

In his just-released Father Time track off the new album in which he's featured Sampha, the 34-year-old rapper opened up about how having daddy issues has fuelled him and also held him back.

In the same jam, he also shared he was confused that Drake and award-winning rapper Kanye West squashed their longtime beef and even met and broke bread together.

According to a Billboard report, the Certified Boy Lover hitmaker and Ye kept hip-hop’s heavyweight feud simmering for more than a decade but the pair caught up last year and that was the moment of reconciliation no one saw coming.

The new album has 18 songs in total.

Fans online have been talking about Lamar's new album and here are some of their reactions:
