Melding jazz, funk, soul, and spoken word with blisteringly precise lyricism, To Pimp a Butterfly is equal parts protest album, self-examination, and Black American odyssey. With production from Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Sounwave and more, it pushed hip hop into politically and musically daring new territory. Tracks like “King Kunta”, “The Blacker The Berry”, and “Alright” are now cultural landmarks, still echoing through the present.

This 10th anniversary pressing on grey marbled vinyl celebrates the album’s lasting impact—not just as a milestone in Kendrick’s evolution, but as a cornerstone of 21st-century Black music. A record to revisit, relisten, and recontextualize with every passing year.
