KENDRICK LAMAR

Mr Morale & The Big Steppers

A warts-and-all voyage through the life of the Compton rapper whose poetic stream of consciousness wrestles with themes of childhood and success. He shares intimate relationship breakdowns (We Cry Together), destroys the idea of idols (Saviour) and poignantly reflects on past abuse (Mother I Sober featuring Beth Gibbons). A powerful record.
