To Pimp a Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

The third studio album from rapper Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly came roaring onto the airwaves in late March. The gorgeously produced album is a sucker punch of socially-conscious spoken word, funk and jazz elements that both dizzy and exhilarate the listener.

To Pimp a Butterfly is an album that seems to both define and be defined by the year 2015, as Lamar’s aggressive lyrics address issues of fame, police brutality and the art and importance of hip-hop.
