LeBron's tweet influences rapper to release surprise album
If you're a fan of rapper Kendrick Lamar and excited for his new album, which he released to the surprise of everyone Thursday night, then you have Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James to thank for it.
After Kendrick Lamar's Grammy performance in February, LeBron tweeted seemingly pleading Lamar and his producer to release his untitled tracks.
Yo @dangerookipawaa after that @kendricklamar Grammy performance , you have to release those untitled tracks asap!!! What's up? Talk to me

Well, last night Lamar's producer went to social media with news of a surprise album drop proclaiming "Thank @KingJames for this." And the fans took notice.
THANK YOU @KingJames FOR FORCING TDE'S HAND TO GIVE US #untitledunmastered.

When asked during shootaround on Friday about the influence he had on the release of the album LeBron was happy he could help, saying "You're welcome."
