Some unreleased Kendrick Lamar songs have surfaced online, including reference tracks from Baby Keem's "The Sound Of Bad Habit" era.

Recently, various previously unreleased Kendrick Lamar songs surfaced online, sparking all kinds of responses on social media. Two of the leaked tracks, "OD" and "Trouble Me," were apparently created back in 2018. Once the Los Angeles rapper decided he wasn't going to use them, he sent them to Rihanna.

Another one of the leaked songs is "Public Enemy" and features English singer Bakar. Finally, reference tracks from Baby Keem's The Sound Of Bad Habit era leaked, "So What" and "Opinions."

The Baby Keem reference tracks in particular have earned big reactions from listeners. "Unironically this sounds way better than the published version," one Reddit user claims. "Bro this one of my favourite Keem songs ever lmaooo no way Kendrick wrote this too," another writes.
