2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year, as a new Kendrick Lamar snippet has surfaced. Just weeks ago, the rapper sparked speculation after saying he “got one,” fueling talk of new music arriving sooner rather than later. That buzz only intensified with reports that Drake also has a project on the way.
Now, the possibility of fresh Kendrick material feels even more real. Producers Sounwave and Jack Antonoff recently gave fans a glimpse inside a studio session, hinting that something may be in the works.
In an Instagram video, the two appear to be in a mixing or mastering session, with Kendrick’s vocals briefly audible in the background.
Whether the snippet is part of an upcoming release remains entirely in Kendrick’s hands. As always, he’s stayed characteristically quiet, leaving fans to speculate. It may be nothing at all—or it could be the calm before the storm. What do you think?
