FLAC (2024) Dot K - Black AF1s (Kendrick Lamar - Watch The Party Die*) [16bit 44.1kHz FLAC]

This single was initially dropped as an untitled track at 5PM American Pacific Time on Kendrick Lamar's Instagram on September 11, 2024. This time coincides with the start of the VMAs, a major music industry event. The lyrics express Lamar's frustration with the music industry and what type of people have begun to "represent" the culture of hip hop. By dropping it at that time, he drew attention away from a major industry event in order to engage with a critique of that very same industry. While some lines do appear to be aimed at Drake, it appears that Lamar leveraged everyone's desire to see more drama about the beef to instead end up listening to a much bigger concern he's been expressing: something systemic in the music industry needs to change, and the issues are bigger than any allegations he has to make about someone like Drake.


Quietly, the track was officially uploaded to streaming sites on September 13, 2024 as Black AF1s under the artist name Dot K, a reversion of a known alias of Kendrick Lamar, K Dot. This is however written and performed by Lamar, so I included the fan title of the song and his name in the title of the post. All metadata is accurate to the uploads found on streaming. I also included an .lrc file containing synced lyrics which operates with any software that can handle .lrc files to display lyrics while your track plays. I like foobar2000 with the component OpenLyrics. Simply leave the file in the same folder with the track and OpenLyrics will display the lyrics synchronized in an OpenLyrics panel once you add one to your GUI.

I need this in quality aac (it don't look like he intends to put it in iTunes anytime soon) but this is the second best thing.

 

Nice, thanks!

Here you go buddy. Same password. Same song. AAC file now though in an m4a container. I set it to constant bit rate, 256kbps, the same quality used by Apple Music with the high quality option that is not lossless.

 

In case poster meant ALAC, Apple's lossless codec. Here that is as well for anyone who wants it.

OMGGGG! Just checking back, appreciate this so much. Especially since you understand apparently how to convert the right way.

Needed the standard lossy m4a for a typical iTunes quality. Appreciate the ALAC also

 

Thanks!

 

thanks a lot

 

Thank you

Thanks

 

Wait, I'm pretty sure Dot K - Black AF1s is just a fan upload of the Instagram rip, right? The actual audio was AAC at ~68kbps.

 

thanks!

 

Whoever uploaded it has the master file. That much, I'm pretty sure of. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to stream it losslessly on Tidal.

 

Thanks

 

Wooow

 

That means it is lossless?, I want the best quality for this song lol

 

thanks
