Kendrick Lamar has released a surprise song on his Instagram page, supposedly titled “Watch the Party Die.”
On the five-minute song, he references Christian rapper Lecrae, Terrace Martin and what appears to be a reference to DJ Akademiks. “The radio personality pushing propaganda for salary / Let me know when they turn up as a casualty,” he states.
He also drops bars that could suggest that the beef with Drake isn’t entirely over: “Just walked that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid / It’s love but tough love, sometimes you gotta result in violence.” Add to injury that the cover art for the song features a pair of beat-up sneakers, potentially a reference to the single cover for Drake’s “Push Ups” that made fun of Lamar’s shoe size.
