"untitled 07 | 2014 - 2016" is the seventh track from Kendrick Lamar's compilation album untitled unmastered. The song was produced by Cardo, Yung Exclusive, Frank Dukes, Swizz Beatz and Egypt Daoud. Kendrick later released a shortened version of this track as a single titled “untitled 07 | levitate,” which only features Part I.
“untitled 07 | 2014-2016” is a three-part track that captures the arc of an emotional rush: the initial elation, the inflated confidence, and coming down. It also works well with Kendrick’s most prominent lyrical themes: HiiiPower, self-love, his growing influence as a rapper/philanthropist, and sexual gratification.
Unlike every other track on the album, the song does not have a specific date attached to it, likely meaning it was made in piecemeal rather than in one jam session.
Swizz Beatz posted on Instagram that part of this track was produced by his and Alicia Keys‘ 5-year-old son, Egypt Dean. Egypt's proud mom, Alicia Keys, gushed about her son's accomplishment on her Instagram. "He got up that morning humming a melody….. We went to the piano to find it….he picked it out by ear….he loves to play…. I know that feeling——–," she wrote.
