Open the Kendrick Lamar tracker

On unreleased.world it holds 809 unreleased tracks across 22 projects and 22 eras, counted live from the catalogue. This guide takes it era by era; to listen, you can open the Kendrick Lamar tracker on unreleased.world.

Who is Kendrick Lamar?

Kendrick Lamar is a rapper from Compton, California, who released mixtapes as K.Dot — C4 among them — before The Kendrick Lamar EP (2009), Overly Dedicated (2010) and Section.80 (2011). His albums since are good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012), To Pimp a Butterfly (2015), DAMN. (2017), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022) and GNX (2024), with the outtakes collection untitled unmastered. (2016) and Black Panther: The Album (2018) between them.

What the Kendrick Lamar tracker holds

The community tracker lists 995 Kendrick songs and versions. What sets it apart is how much of it is earlier versions of albums: the tracker keeps the album that preceded To Pimp a Butterfly and the one that preceded Mr. Morale as eras of their own, and the latter is the largest in the vault. Much of what it lists has never surfaced at all, which is why so many of its grails are songs known only to exist.

The numbers on this page are read from the catalogue and the community tracker every hour, so they will keep changing as songs surface.

Every Kendrick Lamar era, in order

The community Kendrick Lamar tracker files 995 entries — songs and their alternate versions — into 19 eras, oldest first. Every one of them has its own page on unreleased.world, with the full tracklist and every song ready to play.

The eras worth knowing

The K.Dot years

Training Day (41 tracks), No Sleep 'Til NYC (30 tracks) (with Jay Rock) and C4 (62 tracks) come from the mixtapes he made as K.Dot, before The Kendrick Lamar EP (66 tracks) and Overly Dedicated (26 tracks).

Section.80 and good kid, m.A.A.d city

Section.80 (24 tracks) is followed by good kid, m.A.A.d city (45 tracks), one of the deepest eras. The tracker notes that a finished version of good kid, m.A.A.d city existed before Dr. Dre was involved; it has never surfaced, and the tracker counts it among its grails.

Tu Pimp A Caterpillar and To Pimp A Butterfly

Tu Pimp A Caterpillar [V1] (26 tracks) is the album of 2012 to 2014 that he scrapped after a trip to South Africa, and To Pimp A Butterfly [V2] (56 tracks) the album he made instead.

DAMN. and Black Panther

DAMN. (122 tracks) is the second-largest era on the tracker, and Black Panther: The Album (37 tracks) holds the soundtrack sessions with TDE.

Everybody Sensitive to Mr. Morale

Everybody Sensitive [V1] (132 tracks) is the first version of Mr. Morale and the largest era of all. Beside it is Look Woman (4 tracks), a side project the tracker says he dropped in early 2019, and after it come Mr. Morale [V2] (31 tracks) and Mr. Morale [V3] (47 tracks), the album as it was finished.

GNX and after

GNX (15 tracks) is the newest album era, and the tracker lists two rumoured projects after it, Rap Album (3 tracks) and Compton Cowboys (15 tracks). The newest additions below show what arrived most recently.

The Kendrick Lamar tracker's grails and favourites

Beside the full list, many community trackers keep two short ones: grails — the songs collectors prize most, some of which have never surfaced in full — and a best-of. These are the Kendrick Lamar tracker's own, in its order and synced every hour, with what has surfaced of each and a link wherever unreleased.world can play it.

Kendrick Lamar unreleased: questions and answers

How many unreleased songs does Kendrick Lamar have?

unreleased.world has 809 unreleased Kendrick Lamar songs you can stream, across 22 projects and 22 eras — counted live from the catalogue, so the number moves as new songs arrive. The community Kendrick Lamar tracker lists 995 songs and versions in all, 126 of them known only from snippets.

What are Kendrick Lamar's biggest unreleased eras?

By songs you can stream: Everybody Sensitive [V1] (132 songs), DAMN. (122 songs) and The Kendrick Lamar EP (66 songs). Every project is listed on the Kendrick Lamar page, by era.

How many Kendrick Lamar snippets are there?

The community Kendrick Lamar tracker lists 126 songs that have only surfaced as snippets — short previews from social posts, livestreams and teasers rather than full files. The glossary of leak terms explains how a snippet differs from a leak and an OG file.

What Kendrick Lamar songs leaked most recently?

The newest entries on the community Kendrick Lamar tracker are “TDAF” (Sep 24, 2026), “Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe [V3]” (Aug 17, 2026) and “Baby Keem - fuego [V1]” (Jul 26, 2026). unreleased.world syncs the tracker every hour, and the Kendrick Lamar page always lists the latest ones.

Where can I listen to Kendrick Lamar's unreleased songs?

On unreleased.world. The Kendrick Lamar page has all 809 songs, organised by era, with a 30-second preview of each — sign in with a free account and the whole song plays.

What was Kendrick Lamar's Tu Pimp A Caterpillar?

The album Kendrick worked on between good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly, named after Tupac. The community tracker says he scrapped its songs after a trip to South Africa in February 2014 and began the more ambitious album that became To Pimp a Butterfly. Both are eras on the Kendrick Lamar page.

What is Everybody Sensitive?

The first version of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, as the tracker files it: the album he worked on after Black Panther: The Album, where the therapy concept began. It was reworked through 2020 and 2021 into the double album released in May 2022, and it is the largest era in the vault.

Did Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole make an album together?

Not one that has come out. The tracker says the two began a joint project in late 2010 and finished a couple of songs, and keeps what is known of it as an era of its own.
