In 2015, Kendrick Lamar released To Pimp a Butterfly, an album that shattered expectations and redefined the boundaries of hip-hop. Blending jazz, funk, soul, and raw lyricism, the record dives deep into themes of race, identity, politics, and personal struggle. In this episode of Album Reviews & You, we explore how tracks like “Alright,” “King Kunta,” and “The Blacker the Berry” cemented Kendrick as one of the greatest storytellers of his generation. More than just an album, To Pimp a Butterfly is a cultural document — one that continues to resonate, inspire, and challenge listeners around the world.
