Kendrick Lamar has been very quiet about his Aftermath debut album and hasn’t disclosed much about the project. During his interview with The BoomBox, he reveals some information about a new track from the LP called ‘Dying Of Thirst’. He says the track is short but he describes it as the one of the deepest songs on the album. Listen to the first single ‘The Recipe’ featuring Dr. Dre here.
Read what he had to say below.
“I’ve got a song called ‘Dying of Thirst. I want you to listen to it and then you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Just life, in general, is the meaning behind it. It’s a certain situation that I had to go through; I had to bump my head a few times to know what I had to do to get back right.”
“It’s probably one of the deepest songs on [the album] that I’ve written. It’s real short though, probably only a minute or two. When people listen to the album a few more times, and go back and forth, they really understand the setting and the actual position that it has in the album and why it’s in that tracklisting.”
“That’s my whole thing — I like doing whole bodies of work. I don’t want people to listen one time and then pop in the next dude. I want them to actually live with [my album] for years and be able to understand it and digest it.”
