Kendrick Lamar dropped the tracklist and name of his upcoming album on Tuesday and revealed that it features a collaboration with U2, leaving some fans scratching their heads as to what that might sound like.
The US rapper's third studio album, Damn, features 14 tracks including the song xxx featuring U2 and Loyalty featuring Barbadian superstar Rihanna.
It is not yet known if xxx will feature U2 performing or if the track merely features a prominent sample from the band, but fans won't have long to wait as the album is released on Friday (April 14).

Don't know what I'm more worried about. My thesis being due in one month. Or Kendrick Lamar having a song with U2 on his new album....
