Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (2022) — Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick’s deeply personal, therapy-informed double album that arrived after a five-year hiatus.
Released on May 13, 2022, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is Kendrick Lamar’s fifth studio album — his first release in nearly five years. The 18-track double album is an intensely personal record about therapy, generational trauma, infidelity, and self-reflection.
Features include N95, Father Time (with Sampha), United in Grief, We Cry Together (with Taylour Paige — a devastating relationship argument), Silent Hill (with Kodak Black), Auntie Diaries, and Mother I Sober (with Beth Gibbons of Portishead).
The album debuted at number one and won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2023. Critics widely praised its emotional depth and willingness to explore vulnerability rarely heard in mainstream hip-hop.
