Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar's fifth studio album, landed on May 13, 2022, his first release through his own creative company PGLang and his last with Top Dawg Entertainment and Aftermath. Lamar executive produced under the name Oklama and leaned on old allies Sounwave, J. Lbs, DJ Dahi and Bekon for most of the beats.
It's a confession booth of a record, a concept album built around therapy, where Lamar picks apart childhood and generational trauma, infidelity and the worship of celebrity. The production is spare and often startling, threading jazz, soul, R&B and trap through the gaps, with narration from Whitney Alford and Eckhart Tolle and guests ranging from Sampha and Ghostface Killah to Portishead's Beth Gibbons. "N95" was one of 3 singles that all went top 10 on the Hot 100. Critics raved, though some found it uneven, and it went on to win Best Rap Album at the Grammys.
