Kendrick Lamar might be keeping more music than we thought he had! His longtime producer, DJ Dahi, thinks that this might be the case.
The GRAMMY-winning artist just released his latest effort two weeks ago, "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," and just like its predecessors, it received rave reviews from critics, noting his lyricism.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, DJ Dahi hinted that there might be more than we thought they were in Lamar's treasure box.
Kendrick Lamar Unreleased Songs: Will It Ever Come?
Speaking to the publication, DJ Dahi discussed how the chart-topping album was crafted into the literary masterpiece it is right now.
Dahi has production credits on a handful of Kendrick Lamar's tracks. This includes songs from "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," "good kid, m.a.a.d city," and the Pulitzer-winning album, "DAMN."
Towards the latter part of the Rolling Stone article, the "Money Trees" producer hinted that Kendrick Lamar had recorded over 400 songs for "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" - excluding the 30 songs that the producer had.
"With this creative process it's really just getting those ideas out and then being able to come back and be like, 'Oh, I can use this or this part of this.' His process of recording is pretty nuts. So I wouldn't be surprised if we looked at the hard drive and he has thousands of songs," the multi-platinum producer said.
Kendrick Lamar's 'Count Me Out' Wasn't Originally His
Dahi also revealed that "Count Me Out," Kendrick's opener for "Mr. Steppers," was supposed to be for his own album. Instead, he gave it to Lamar, who loved the track and wrote the remaining part of it.
He also noted that the song had almost 30 versions as they have remolded the track, thinking about how the song could fit today's world.
"And that's the biggest thing. How does it fit into a certain type of space where people can get that feeling?" he said.
Dj Dahi is no stranger to producing chart-topping hits and albums, as he has already produced for other hip-hop heavyweights like Drake, Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, and Mac Miller.
"Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" debuted atop the Billboard 200 albums chart. On the same opening weekend, Kendrick Lamar had all of his eighteen songs from the double-album chart on the Billboard Hot 100, launching the rap giant at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Artists 100.
