This week’s album by Kendrick Lamar features an in-depth and poetic look at his life growing up in Compton in the 80’s and the effects on his generation that was born into the crack epidemic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_epidemic_in_the_United_States). Kendrick utilises a wide range of instrumental influences and poetic devices to tell his story.
