Description: Damn. It’s been five years since Kendrick’s last album Damn (2017) dropped.  But Damn isn’t what we’re here to talk about. For all the Kendrick fans out there, this week couldn’t have been better.  News of his new album dropped earlier this week and the internet went abuzz with excitement for Kendrick’s new project Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. ————— The Top 20 Songwriting Secrets of Professional Rappers (FREE VIDEO COURSE): htr.freestylefortnight.com/kendricknewalbumsongwriter ————— TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Kendrick Announces New Album 1:47 5 Years Before The New Kendrick Album…  3:16 Pulitzer Prize Kenny 4:25 Kendrick Lamar’s Mainstream Accolades  6:23 What Will Kendrick Tell Us On The New Album? 8:08 Trap Commentary Kendrick?  9:08 The New Kendrick Album Is Less Than A Month Away 9:43 Comment Below With Your Thoughts! ————— FULL ON ARTICLE ON THE NEW Kendrick Album (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW): rapgamenow.com/the-new-kendrick-album-everything On 18th April 2021, signed oklama, Kendrick shared an image on his website and on social media with a letterhead of PGLang. It read: “From the desk of oklama. For immediate release. Los Angeles. CA. (April 18. 2022) – The following statement was released today by oklama, through his company pgLang at 11:00am PT in Los Angeles, CA: Album: “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” Release date: 5/13/2022 AII factual information for this release will come directly from this source only. “ Well, we can never doubt that Kendrick will find an artistic way to drop a napalm bomb on the rap world.  Today, let’s discuss everything you need to know about the new Kendrick album, offer some speculation on what it might sound like, and what we in the How To Rap nation think this album needs to do to keep solidifying King Kenny’s place in the greatest of all time conversation.  However, before we get the fun side of speculation…  5 Years Before The New Kendrick Album…  A lot has happened in Kendrick’s life since he dropped Damn in 2017, a commercial and critical success.  In 2018 he followed up the album with the release of Black Panther: The Album, a soundtrack for the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Black Panther which he produced and curated.  The project featured on the Billboard 200 reaching platinum status in the United States. Kendrick contributed vocals to all tracks on the album including contributing additional vocals for which he didn’t take credit while producing a number of tracks.  Sonically, this album showed even more of Kendrick Lamar’s range, since it included a much more aggressive tone that a lot of his solo work which emphasizes introspective relaxed tracks as much as actual singleworthy bangers. Could we look forward to hearing a more aggressive “Control”-verse-style Kendrick come back into the fold with his new album?  It’s totally possible. If you listen to his verse on Baby Keem’s “Family Ties” from last year, there was definitely a bit of “I’ma get at ALL you rappers” energy to it. “New flows coming, be patient – brother”, indeed. The Black Panther album also allowed us to hear Kendrick collab with the likes of SZA, SOB X RBE, Zacari, Jay Rock, Future, James Blake, Travis Scott and The Weeknd. Accompanying all this was the opening track “Black Panther” performed solo by Kendrick.  The album allowed Kendrick to explore new styles and song structures which we wouldn’t have heard him do, considering Kendrick’s penchant for concept albums. Pulitzer Prize Kenny In 2018 Kendrick was a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music for the album Damn. This represented a big step for hip hop at large, being the first non-jazz, non-classical album to win the prestigious American prize.  Given the almost “novel-like” title of the new Kendrick album, we at How To Rap News figure it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if the new project was another ambitious, To Pimp A Butterfly style magnum opus.  Whereas Damn had a short, to the point title that mirrored the stripped back production and coming-for-your-neck bars of tracks like “DNA” and “Humble”… To Pimp A Butterfly’s title indicated an artistic edge that mirrored the expansive sonic qualities of that record. The Pulitzer board at the time noted that Damn was “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”  The New Yorker quoted Dana Canedy, the administrator of the award, noting that “It shines a light on hip-hop in a completely different way. This is a big moment for hip-hop music and a big moment for the Pulitzers.”  That’s some GOAT status achievement.
