Even with the high caliber Kendrick Lamar holds, this 2016 compilation is often overlooked, being perceived as just a 'B-Side album'. Recorded alongside, as well as both pre & post ‘to pimp a butterfly’, this collection hits just as hard & heavy as its sister album, keeping his unique conscious flow at the forefront while a host of incredible producers & musicians keep things ticking behind him (to name but a few – adrian younge, thundercat & robert glasper), pushing soul further (think madlib or j dilla style production) to bolster the jazzier feel of ‘tpab’. Untitled unmastered is generally considered as one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s Hip-Hop scene.
