In a rare occurrence, Kendrick Lamar sits down with the New York Times‘ T Magazine and discusses the important of faith, family and of course his new album.
While K. Dot doesn’t drop too much tea, he does reveal that his new project is “urgent” at this time.
“Been thinking about my little brothers. One little brother, he bigger than me, he’s 22. Another brother, he just turned 11. Family.” Lamar paused, picked it up again. “I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork. ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ was addressing the problem. I’m in a space now where I’m not addressing the problem anymore,” he said. “We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.”

“It’s very urgent,” Lamar replied.
