Kendrick Lamar enlists Rihanna and U2 for new album DAMN

Kendrick Lamar has revealed collaborations with Rihanna and U2 on his forthcoming album.

The rapper released the track listings for his fourth studio album, titled DAMN, on Tuesday, along with the cover artwork.

Rihanna and U2 feature on two separate songs, Loyalty and XXX.

The follow-up to 2015's To Pimp A Butterfly features 14 new tracks in total, including Blood, DNA, Fear, and Lamar's latest single, Humble.

Fans on social media were excited by the appearance of Rihanna on the record, but not as keen on U2.

One user said: "Kendrick has a song featuring... U2. Okay," while another added: "I really do not need to hear U2 on a Kendrick album."

"Really excited about the new Kendrick album but that U2 feature... lol," wrote another user.

In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Lamar teased the album, saying: "My focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they're doing the groundwork.

"To Pimp a Butterfly was addressing the problem. I'm in a space now where I'm not addressing the problem anymore."

DAMN will be out in stores 14 April.
