Spoken-word track We Cry Together, which features actress Taylour Paige, portrays a fighting couple whose biting words see personal anger transition into structural rage.
The album's cover is a photo of Lamar wearing a crown of thorns and holding a young child, while a woman who appears to be his partner Whitney Alford is in the background, holding an infant. Set to jazz-heavy instrumentals, the Grammy-winner's music has made him a household name and a rare artiste whose work is commercially successful but who is not dependent on constantly churning out content.
In 2018, Lamar became the first rapper to win the Pulitzer Prize for music, with the award's board saying his album, Damn, was"unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African American life."Following that historic win, he curated and contributed a number of songs to the soundtrack for the film Black Panther , including All The Stars, his Grammy- and Oscar-nominated collaboration with singer SZA.
