But he’s angrier than them all ... he’s certainly achieved his aim in impressive style." - The Guardian "... a masterpiece of fiery outrage, deep jazz and ruthless self-critique ... densely packed, dizzying rush of unfiltered rage and unapologetic romanticism, true-crime confessionals, come-to-Jesus sidebars, blunted-swing sophistication, scathing self-critique and rap-quotable riot acts ... clearly, this is Lamar's moment to remake rap in his own blood-sick image." - Rolling Stone Rapper Kendrick Lamar from Compton, California, follows up his million-selling major-label debut with To Pimp A Butterfly, which includes the double Grammy-winning single Alright, released six months in advance. The songs on this album, at times angry and confrontational but always honest, reflect the pressures and the burden of fame that Lamar's success brought upon him and tackle themes of social injustice, racism, hatred and hypocrisy.
