Last month, Lamar made the record public by posting a link to his Oklama website, which disclosed the album’s title and release date.

The album is divided into two volumes, each with nine tracks, and has a number of renowned collaborators, including Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Thundercat, Baby Keem, Sampha, and others. Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is Kendrick Lamar’s new album, which you can listen to below. (Pitchfork gets compensated for sales made through our affiliate links.)

Eckhart Tolle’s voice may be heard throughout the CD; the spiritual teacher and author narrates many tracks. On numerous tracks, Lamar’s partner Whitney Alford is listed as a narrator, including “We Cry Together,” which includes a Florence and the Machine sample.
