–Featured Release: Kendrick Lamar: “DAMN.”

Genre: Hip-Hop/Jazz/Funk // Label: Aftermath/Interscope

Background:

DAMN. marks Lamar’s first extended release since last year’s collection of demos (untitled unmastered), and his first formal album since 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly.  Unlike past releases that have featured a host of impressive guest musicians, DAMN. has only three announced guest stars: U2, Rihanna, and Zacari – setting this record up to perhaps be his most straightforward, down-to-earth unveiling.  For an artist of Kendrick’s stature, DAMN. makes for an automatically required listen.  Garnering critical acclaim throughout his career, particularly with good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly, Lamar figures to keep a firm grasp on his reign atop hip-hop/rap with this latest record.
