In April Kendrick Lamar tweeted a new link to his Oklama website announcing the release date for his much anticipated album.
On the site, the rapper revealed his new album’s title and release date: Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is out May 13.
Lamar teased the record—his “final TDE album,” as he described it—on a website launched in August 2021. “May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling,” he wrote at the time.
“There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown.” He signed the note, “Oklama.”
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers follows Lamar’s Pulitzer-winning 2017 album Damn. Since then, he’s curated and helmed the Black Panther soundtrack, headlined Coachella and Top Dawg Entertainment’s Championship Tour, won a bunch of Grammy Awards, and been nominated for an Oscar.
