Kendrick Lamar, the award-winning US rapper, has finally announced his fifth album titled ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’.
In a terse statement via Oklama, his website, the 34-year-old said the project would be released on May 13.
“The following statement was released today by Oklama, through his company pgLang at 11:00 a.m. PT in Los Angeles, CA: Album: ‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’. Release date: 5/13/2022. All factual information for this release will come directly from this source only,” the statement read.
The project is coming five years after Lamar came through with ‘Damn’, his fourth album, which was released on April 14, 2017.
It is understood that the body of work will be his last for Top Dawg Entertainment, the record label which has so far released all his albums.
The album is also expected to be released in collaboration with pgLang, the new creative venture he launched with Dave Free, the music executive, in 2020.
In 2011, the rapper dropped ‘Section.80,’ his first studio album, and released the second album titled ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D City’ the following year.
The music star then put out his third album titled ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ in 2015.
His hiatus in the music landscape has sparked claims in some quarters that he has retired from music.
