Kendrick Lamar surprised the music world with a surprise short album of demos from the To Pimp A Butterfly recording sessions. To help promote the new album untitled unmastered, he is launching a giveaway later today where fans will have answer questions based on lyrics to the LP and are eligible win prizes if they are the first correct answer.

There will eight questions for each of the eight songs found on the LP in random order. 8 lucky winners will be chosen from the batch of correct answers.

The first person to answer the question correctly will win a special untitled unmastered merch package that includes a t-shirt, hat and backpack.

The contest will kick off today at 7 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. PST. To have a chance to enter, reply on Twitter and make sure you use the hashtag #untitledlyrics.

Fans should start rinsing out the album on repeat and have genius up and ready to go for the full album, though really the only way to win is to know all of the lyrics by heart. It is only a half hour long, so there is time to get almost a dozen spins through.

Kendrick Lamar's surprise album untitled unmastered was released without warning this past Friday, March 4. Born out of the recording sessions for To Pimp A Butterfly, it has the same fusion of jazz, soul and hip-hop that made TPAB the consensus critics pick for best album of the year (minus the Grammys). The poetic ability to tackle some of the most difficult social and political issues facing this country is also present and has made Kendrick arguably the greatest rapper going right now.

See the full contest details below and good luck.
