Lamar Damn. (X) (2Lp/180G) Lp New
If Kendrick Lamar felt pressure to continue living up to his previous output, there’s no evidence on DAMN. Throughout, he intensely examines most of the seven deadly sins, aware all along that his existence is threatened by anyone who objects to the color of his skin or clothes — or, in the case of the blind stranger who shoots him during the album’s opener, nothing that is apparent.
