In December 2014, while preparing for the release of his third album 'To Pimp a Butterfly', Kendrick Lamar performed an unreleased, untitled track as a musical guest on an episode of 'The Colbert Report', and in January 2016 he did the same again, and performed another untitled song on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. Following his acclaimed performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards, which included aspects of another new untitled track, Lamar revealed the existence of a collection of tracks that did not make it onto 'To Pimp A Butterfly', mostly because of issues with sample clearances, and following hints of a potential new release from Lamar's label Top Dawg Entertainment, he issued a collection of these tracks called 'untitled unmastered' in March 2016. It comprised eight untitled tracks, but with a date when the songs were written and recorded at various points between 2013 and 2016. 'unfinished unreleased' is an unofficial follow-up to that album, containing 18 more rare and unreleased songs from Lamar's vaults, but this time with actual titles. The tracks come from the sessions for the 'DAMN' and 'Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers' albums, and so span the years 2017 to 2022, making it a perfect companion to the official release.
