Terrace Martin hasn’t stopped building anticipation for Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming album, which he seems to be working on.

The producer, who is located in Los Angeles, expressed his excitement for K. Dot’s next project on Instagram Live on Tuesday, June 4. He asserted that the project will further establish the West Coast as the epicenter of the rap industry.

“We always been the Mecca, bro,” Martin said to a fan who had commented on his stream, stating that “the West Coast about to return to the Mecca of Hip Hop.” We occasionally take a brief respite. We have to give others a little time off by taking breaks. But we’re back.

Then, he promoted Kendrick Lamar’s next album and forthcoming albums by fellow Compton locals YG and Roddy Ricch as well as West Coast hitmaker Mustard.

Yes, let me tell you about the records I’m looking forward to. I’m looking forward to Mustard’s and YG’s albums. Many people have me thrilled, but there are two albums coming out; I’m getting really enthusiastic and can’t wait until they do,” he remarked.

“I can’t wait for the release of Kendrick Lamar’s album and the Roddy Ricch album.” I’m excited, those two Compton artists said. You know, there’s so much trash bubbling?”

Terrace Martin previously revealed that he was in the studio with Roddy Ricch last month and that he’s also been working with Kendrick Lamar on new material.

“I’ve been locked in with Roddy Ricch creating something special. The Navy album,” he posted to X (formerly Twitter) last week.

When a fan responded by asking him: “Sounds like a big W. But who is locked in with Dot now?” the producer simply replied: “All of us.”

Martin has contributed to the majority of Kendrick’s albums, producing songs such as “Loyalty” from DAMN., five songs on To Pimp a Butterfly including “King Kunta,” and “m.A.A.d city” from good kid, m.A.A.d city.

K. Dot has also featured on many of Martin’s solo projects.

Roddy Ricch, meanwhile, released “Survivor’s Remorse,” the lead single from his upcoming album, last week.

During a recent episode of HipHopDX‘s The Bigger Picture, DJ Hed spoke highly about Roddy’s next LP and revealed he’s working closely with some of Kendrick’s collaborators.

“There’s more intention on [this] record. It’s a cohesive effort,” he said. “I don’t want to reveal too much, but he has people coming — same people that Dot is working with — coming in and building the sound of what the album is gonna be, what it feels like, the texture, the subject matter.”

He added: “And then sidebar: he’s grown as a man. He’s living real life.”
