Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Part 5 ( King Lascombo’s Review )

Kendrick is back!!!

This amazing, mouthwatering, piece of work has so many notables but the highlight of the visual has to be the facing of Top Black Entertainers ( Dead and Alive ). People like Will Smith, Kanye West, OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Kobe Bryant and Nipsy Hussle. With the Album expected to drop on the 13th of May ( Mr Morale & Big Stepper ), it will be his first Studio album since 2017 ( Damn ) and we are all raging to get this Album into our ear drums.

The Breakdown

Kendrick started the song with what we could call a message to all his fans to let them ( us ) know that he is grateful and we should expect something a bit different from Kdot TDE….. but a new style from him and PgLang ( his Label )

Kendrick started off with a vivid reminder to us that he is still an Activist for Gang Violence with the first line of the song. He continues with that energy all through the song and the amazing part was how he switched between various faces, rapping about related issues in order to maybe walk us through these celebrities shoes. The vibe sounded like his deliverance on ” The Blacker The Berry ” off the Grammy Award Album ” To Pimp a Butterfly “.

To finalize the song, he spoke like he was Nipsy Hussle and dropped some deep, strong messages to Family, Friends and Community as a whole.

The visual was simple but really creative and I must say well done and Welcome back to Kendrick Lamar.
