If you’re a blind vegetarian Kendrick Lamar fan, today may be the greatest day of your life.

K Dot is headlining the sweetlife festival and the celebrate his presence, the festival and restaurant sponsor Sweetgreen will be serving the ‘Beets don’t Kale my vibe’ salad. As a long time fan of both puns and Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, this is truly a joyous day for me. In a press release, sweetlife said the salad “contains shredded local kale, roasted chicken, goat cheese, organic wild rice, and flash roasted beets, which are marinated in balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a hint of honey.”. Sounds legit. Check some photos of the salad from the release in the gallery.

Another fun scrap of KDot news emerged this morning when Lamar discussed the possibility of a hidden message in the physical edition of To Pimp a Butterfly. While talking to Mass Appeal, Kendrick sent stans everywhere scrabbling for their liner notes.

“[There]’s actually a sketch of braille that’s added to the title hidden inside the [CD] booklet that I don’t think nobody has caught yet. You can actually feel the bump lines. But if you can see it, which is the irony of it, you can break down the actual full title of the album.”

Any mystique on the matter was swiftly incinerated thanks to Reddit user _rjnr_ who appears to have already cracked the secret message for the most part. (Peep a pic _rjnr_ took of the braille in the gallery) Thanks to him and a few others, it looks like the full title of TPAB was intended to be To Pimp a Butterfly, A Blank Letter. Sincerely, Kendrick Lamar
or
To Pimp a Butterfly. Sincerely, A Blank Letter By Kendrick Lamar.

Looks like TPAB is the gift that keeps on giving.
