Kendrick Lamar Chooses “Levitate” as the First Single From ‘untitled unmastered.’

Kendrick Lamar's song "untitled 07 I 2014 – 2016" is officially being pushed as a single under the new title "Levitate." The original version runs for over eight minutes with production handled by Frank Dukes, Cardo, Swizz Beatz, Yung Exclusive and Egypt Dean. The new single version has been shortened to about two and half minutes in length. "Levitate" can be purchased now on iTunes or streamed via Spotify.

Since its release on the untitled unmastered. project earlier this month, "untitled 07 I 2014 – 2016" managed to climb as high as No. 16 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. The song's new push as a single should help to bolster its position in the weeks to come.

Kendrick Lamar's star power has already helped his surprise project untitled unmastered. top the Billboard charts. The Compton rapper's project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 by moving 178,000 equivalent units in the week ending March 10. 142,000 of those came via pure sales as opposed to streaming. The release's success is all the more impressive considering it is not a proper album, but a collection of demos and tracks from the cutting room floor.

With all this success, Kendrick Lamar still managed to show his gratitude for the artists who helped paved the way. When the "Alright" rapper heard that Phife Dawg passed away, he stopped a show in Australia to honor the Tribe Called Quest member. Kendrick led the crowd of 18,000 in a chant of Phife Dawg's name during the heartwarming moment.
