Kendrick Lamar released his highly anticipated fourth LP, Damn., on Friday – only three days after revealing its title, track list and artwork. The 14-track LP features collaborations with Rihanna (“LOYALTY.”), U2 (“XXX.”) and L.A.-based singer/instrumentalist Zacari (“LOVE.”).
In a recent interview with the New York Times’ T Magazine, Lamar said his new album, which follows 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly and last year’s compilation LP untitled unmastered, addresses “very urgent” themes.
“We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God,” he added. “Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.”
