The Album Files

Matt//Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city

"The journey that Kendrick Lamar takes us on with this album is one that, for me at least, was unsettling to begin with. His lived experience is worlds away from mine, and listening to this album felt like I was stepping into a world where I didn’t belong. But in time I’ve come to appreciate that experience – this is a fascinating glimpse into a different universe, fashioned with great care and craftsmanship, and an album that rewards repeat (and attentive) listens." - Matt
