Summary

Kendrick Lamar has been described as the poet laureate of hip-hop, perceptive, philosophical, unapologetic, fearless and an innovative storyteller whose body of work has been compared to James Joyce and James Baldwin.

He is a visionary who will go down as history as one of the most important artists of all time.

But what's so striking about Kendrick Lamar, aside from his impressive accolades, is how he's effectively established himself as a formidable opponent of oppression, a force for change. Through his confessional poetics, his politically charged anthems and his radical performances, Lamar has become a beacon of light for many people in America.

Now, for the first time, we will be taken on a journey of Lamar's life. Told through his three albums, The Butterfly Effect gives unparalleled insight into his background, influences and the importance of his music. The book traces not only Lamar's powerful impact on music but also on our current society, especially under the weight of police brutality, divisive politics and social injustice. With exclusive interviews with his family, friends and record producers, this audiobook is the must-listen for any fan.

Critic reviews

"Kendrick Lamar understands and employs blues, jazz, and soul in his music, which makes it startling. His work is more than merely brilliant; it is magic." (Toni Morrison)

"Lamar is a man living on a real and metaphorical peak, with one eye trained on the heavens, the other searching for stories in the valley below." (Guardian)

Finally a book about Kendrick!

Marcus Moore has done a great job with this book and Adenrele Ojo is pleasant to listen to. Only thing is that i wish the book was longer (because it was so good)
