Kendrick Lamar shares ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’

Words: Dylan Murphy

The Compton rapper’s new album features Baby Keem, Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Kodak Black and more.

Today, Kendrick Lamar has shared his final album on Top Dawg Entertainment. Landing as a double album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers comes after months of teasing via Kendrick’s ‘okalama.com’ website.

Featuring 18 tracks, the record is his first full length solo album since 2017’s Pulitzer prize winning DAMN. The LP contains contributions Beth Gibbons, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Thundercat, Baby Keem, Sampha, Kodak Black, and more.

It comes after Kendrick shared the video for ‘The Heart Part 5’ earlier this month which used deep fakes to recreate the faces of multiple black celebrities including Kanye West and Will Smith.
