Kendrick Lamar Doesn't Want To Rush Next Album, Talks "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" Artwork

Image

Kendrick Lamar says he will let "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" breathe before dropping his next project and talks about why album work is important to him.

After releasing good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Kendrick Lamar has been fielding questions about the follow-up. However, he's in no rush to discuss any new material as of yet. Instead, Kendrick is focusing his energy on promoting his latest effort. In a recent interview with RWD TV, the good kid explained why he's taking his time with the next album and he also discussed m.A.A.d. city's artwork.

Regarding the artwork, Lamar shared the thought process behind picking the photographs that were used.

"[In the cover,] I blacked out all of the eyes, my uncles' eyes, to show the innocence of a kid. No matter what he's surrounded by, he still has that innocence, that presence of wanting to figure out the world and be himself," he explained. "It represents everything about the album. I had this for awhile. I knew this would be my first album cover.

"The artwork is really about sharing the moments inside the album that makes the connection. I'm used to albums having the total package like that...I really wanted something to define the music, to stick with the music."

When asked about his plans for his next release, K. Dot said that he wants to let this one sit for awhile before going into his next project.

"I like to let things breathe," he shared. "A lot of times the music gets oversaturated and the people get tired of seeing your face. So you have to keep reinventing and know that timing is everything. I won't keep hitting them over the head. Y'all gon' live and sit with this for a second and really appreciate it."

The interview can be seen below.

Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools (Drank)" Certified Platinum

Image Kendrick Lamar earns a platinum plaque for his work on "Swimming Pools (Drank)."

Last year's good kid, m.A.A.d. city by Kendrick Lamar has reached another milestone. First, the album went gold. Now, the album's second single, "Swimming Pools (Drank)" is certified platinum.

The track was released in late July of 2012, a year that would see Lamar celebrated for his efforts. His work on good kid landed him several other achievements, including HipHopDX's Album of the Year, our Readers' Choice Album of the Year and Emcee of the Year.

"Swimming Pools" topped charts both in the States and overseas, where he is currently touring. The official remix for the track features Lamar's Black Hippy family. The video for the track, seen below, matches the song's anti-drinking theme.
