Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly (2xLP)

Released in 2015, To Pimp a Butterfly is Kendrick Lamar’s ambitious and politically charged follow-up to Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. The album addresses race, identity, & self-worth, tackling issues like systemic oppression, mental health, & the complexities of fame. Lamar blends jazz, funk, soul, & hip-hop while drawing heavily from African-American history & culture to create a genre-defying masterpiece. With tracks like "Alright," "The Blacker the Berry," and "King Kunta," Lamar’s profound lyricism, coupled with experimental production, positions To Pimp a Butterfly as a landmark in both hip-hop and contemporary music.
