Fans have been waiting with bated breath for this double album for a while, as the reclusive Compton, Calif. MC, has resigned his following DAMN IT.‘s successful release. Speculation began circulating late last year that 2020 would be the year that Kung Ku Kenny would return with a new album and tour. In January there were rumors that the new Kendrick Lamar LP was ready and would contain more rock influences. However, over the months there has been no solid sign of a rollout. People began searching for answers so fiercely that there was even a rumor that Kendrick had left his label, which the “Be Humble” Rhymer denied.

In October 2020, Kendrick admitted his lengthy recording process for his album. “I spend all year thinking about how to create a new sound, I can’t keep doing the same thing,” he said I would Magazine. “I need something to excite me. I see that sometimes you get frustrated because you want new shit.”

Last August, Kendrick Lamar broke his silence again on the album, revealing it would be his last LP with Top Dawg Ent before heading up his own company called pgLang. It would be another seven months before he would officially announce itMr. Morale & the big steppers on April 18th. K-Dot made the announcement on a website with a throwback Windows vibe.

On May 8, he dropped the video and song for “The Heart, Part 5.” In the clip for the track, Kendrick stands in front of a red background and delivers his powerful rhymes. As he raps, his face morphs into polarizing celebrities like OJ Simpson, Kanye West, Jussie Smollett, and Will Smith. Towards the end of the video, Kendrick morphed into deepfakes of Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle while the brilliant MC pays homage to the fallen icons.
