Slowly but surely, rapper Kendrick Lamar has been leaking details about his highly anticipated new album. While it doesn't have a title just yet, the performer recently shared the album's artwork.

The image, available above, depicts a group of young men posted up outside the White House, holding thick stacks of cash and bottles of liquor. On the bottom left, there's a judge with his eyes crossed out, as if he's passed away.

Lamar shared the image on his Instagram page, and included the following caption:


"Don't all dogs go to heaven? Don't Gangsta's boogie? Do owl shit stank? Lions, Tigers & Bears. But TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. Its the American dream nigga...." - lil Homie.

The all caps have led some to believe that the album might be called To Pimp a Butterfly, though the album's title has yet to be confirmed.

UPDATE: According to Rolling Stone, the album is indeed called To Pimp a Butterfly.

As previously reported, we do know that the album will be available on March 23.
