Kendrick Lamar Releases New Album ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’
Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar resurfaced, performing at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige at SoFi Stadium.
The performance took place just six months after it was announced that Compton native would be dropping his final album on Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). In an open letter from the rapper’s oklama.com website, the DAMN. rapper began his letter with: “I spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts. Writing. Listening. And collecting old Beach cruisers.”
“As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years” it reads. “The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling”.
Kendrick ends the letter with “There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I’ve prayed for you all.”
Fast forward to earlier this month, Kendrick released a press release under his pgLang imprint with the announcement that his third studio album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, would be dropping on May 13.
Teasing the album’s release with “The Heart Part 5” earlier this week, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is a double-disc project that features 18 tracks with contributions from Ghostface Killah, Kodak Black, Summer Walker, Blxst, Baby Keem, Tanna Leone, Sam Dev, Taylour Paige, Amanda Reifer, Sampha and Beth Gibbons of Portishead.

Skilla Baby Drops The Coldest (Deluxe)
Earlier this year, Skilla Baby released his 16-track project, “The Coldest,” via Geffen, featuring collaborations with Polo G, Flo Milli, Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, DaBaby, Rob49, Mozzy, NoCap, Jeremih, and Tay B.
The Detroit native has now returned with the official deluxe version, which includes additional tracks such as “Soulja Slimm” featuring Rob49, “Bobby Trap on The River,” and “Body Bangin’,” among others. The deluxe edition also features contributions from Bossman DLow, Baby Money, and Southside.
“I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous but fun at the same time,” Skilla shared during the album’s initial press release. “As an artist, I’m known as the ‘girl’s guy,’ but I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions: mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc. I say that to say sorry for the wait, but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…,” he continued.
The deluxe version of “The Coldest” follows Skilla Baby’s joint tour with Rob49, “Vultures Eat The Most Tour.”

Mustard Releases New Album ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’
It’s been ten years since Mustard released his debut album, “10 Summers.” Now, after producing Kendrick Lamar‘s chart-topping hit “Not Like Us,” which spent two non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Mustard returns with his fourth studio album, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed.”
The 14-track album features an impressive lineup, including Kirk Franklin, Lil Yachty, BlueBucksClan, 42 Dugg, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, and Rob49. The title, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed,” was inspired by the late Nipsey Hussle.
In an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Mustard reminisced about a conversation with Nipsey regarding his 2019 project, “Perfect Ten,” saying, “And [Nipsey] was like, ‘Well before it’s all said and done, you gotta do Faith Of A Mustard Seed.’”
