New Kendrick & Dr. Dre Coming Soon?
Originally, the CEO of TDE promised an album from each member of the label in 2014, but whether that happens remains to be seen, with both Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock still waiting. However, last night, music supervisor Scott Vener (of Entourage and How To Make It In America) decided to speak out on Twitter about new music from K. Dot. Last weekend, Scott was lucky enough to be in the studio with Pharrell and Kendrick, where he got the chance to hear a single titled “King Kunta,” which could even be produced by Dr. Dre.
Call it over exaggeration or what, but there’s definitely something to be excited about based on the following tweets.
I been dying to talk about this…

When they were done. K broke out his lap top and played a song that fucked me up for real

During the song, Pharrells engineer whispered to me “Dre had to produce this. This has to be Dre"

He had a similar flow to James Brown in “Payback” talking like a conversation and rapping hard as hell
— scott vener (@brokemogul) October 30, 2014
the way they made this song it like the way bands would get together and jam back in the day.
— scott vener (@brokemogul) October 30, 2014
There is no way that @kendricklamar and @SounwaveTDE weren’t together every step of the way this song was made
