Untitled Unmastered 2016 was released by Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records in March 2016, less than a year after To Pimp a Butterfly . The project was initially spurred by public demand, most notably a tweet from LeBron James pleading for Top Dawg CEO Anthony Tiffith to release the untitled tracks Lamar had performed on late-night television. This spontaneity is reflected in the album’s very structure. The tracks are labeled simply by dates, ranging from 2013 to 2016, suggesting that these are not polished, radio-ready singles, but rather raw snapshots of specific moments in time.
