The word has been that Kendrick Lamar was dropping his first album in three years this year.

As the year goes by, K.Dot's fans are getting antsy.

Today, TDE boss Top Dawg told them there is nothing to worry about in an Instagram comment.

"Stay patient king Kendrick will return soon," he typed.

Earlier this year, industry insider Bill Werde reported Kendrick already has a rock-oriented album in the can.

There has also been talk that Lamar wants to drop his album the same day as Drake's upcoming effort.

You getting hype?
