Quite what untitled unmastered. is supposed to be is an intriguing point. You could argue that it seems like an addendum to To Pimp a Butterfly, in that initial impressions suggest pretty much anything here could sit comfortably on that album: it doesn’t feel like the radical departure that its predecessor did from 2012’s Good Kid, MADD City. Equally, the fact that pretty much anything on it could sit comfortably on that record tells you something about the quality of what’s here. Cheeringly, it doesn’t sound like music made by someone buckling under the weight of expectations that follow such a vast critical and commercial success. Instead, it sounds like the work of someone who’s in it for the long haul.
