According to Complex, Lamar has also hinted at the possibility of releasing his next LP as a double album. The 34-year-old left a hint on his website on Tuesday when he posted a photo of himself holding two CDs. One CD is labeled with the word “Morale” while the other reads “Steppers.”
The two discs are labeled with the words “master copy.” The photo also shows Lamar holding a book which shows the full name of his upcoming album engraved on the cover.
Lamar released his previous album, Damn, in 2017. The record earned a Pulitzer prize, Pitchfork reports.
