Additional InformationThe fifth album from one of rap's most creative artists is relentlessly complex and often uncomfortably raw in its emotional gravity.
Reviews"Lamar turns the critical eye away from the political stratosphere and looks deep within, using the project’s expansive, jazz-infused backdrops to explore his most uncomfortable tendencies.", "A Sprawling Double Album That Tied Personal Pain to Collective Trauma.", "He's the rare artist able to make an expansive 18-track odyssey commenting on everything from intersectionality to 'cancel culture' to Drake vs. Kanye, and still make it mostly feel like one guy just trying to sort his own s–t out.", "The music was low-key, the focus remorselessly on the words of the most sophisticated and self-analytical rapper of his generation.", "Lamar remains one of rap’s most thought-provoking and sonically ambitious artists, reaching new levels of introspection on standout cuts like 'Mother I Sober.'", 4 stars out of 5 -- "He raps in many modes, varying his pitching and flow on nearly every song, switching up his cadence as though changing his identity.", "In addition to Kodak Black’s recurring appearances throughout the project, there are also contributions from singers Amanda Reifer and Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Blxst, a rare Sampha feature, Portishead’s Beth Gibbons and more.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Lamar serves up two nine-track discs of contemporary philosophy and fun....This album is as much about struggle as it is freedom, and what a beautiful sentiment that is.", "MR. MORALE & THE BIG STEPPERS is one of his most profound, complex, revelatory statements yet, a double album fuelled by sonic ambition, the will to communicate, and Kendrick’s staunch refusal to walk the easy path."
