Kendrick Lamar’s recent release of the “Not Like Us” music video has sparked widespread attention and speculation among fans. The video, which has garnered over 23 million views on YouTube, has led social media users to analyze every detail for potential clues about Kendrick’s upcoming projects.
A specific point of interest is a jacket Kendrick wore in the video. Initial speculation suggested that the jacket displayed the date “8/8/2024,” hinting at a possible album release date. However, it was later clarified that the jacket actually says “S/S/2024,” referring to Spring/Summer 2024.
The jacket and scarf featured in the video are from Jamaican-British designer Martine Rose’s Spring/Summer collection. Some fans believe this might be a subtle reference to Kendrick’s past criticisms of Drake’s use of accents and Toronto slang, although this connection remains speculative.
As for the actual release date of Kendrick’s next album, nothing has been confirmed. The Alchemist, during a recent interview with TMZ, speculated that Kendrick might release an album this year. “I think he’s gonna drop an album this year,” he mentioned, adding, “I think he will, just cuz he can.”
The release date remains uncertain, but fans continue to anticipate new music from Kendrick Lamar.
