Kendrick Lamar is back! The American rapper has released his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Mr. Morales & The Big Steppers. The project has 19 new tracks, including the singles The Heart Part 5 and N95, and brings collaborations with Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Baby Keem, Kodak Black, Sam Dew, Tanna Leone, and others.

The Heart Part 5 was released as a promotional single off of the album on May 8. A music video was revealed for the first single and features deepfakes of pop culture figures like JAY-Z, Kanye West, Kobe Bryant, O.J. Simpson, Will Smith, Jussie Smollett, and Nipsey Hussle.

The lead single, N95, had its music video revealed today and shows Lamar working out on the roof of a shabby apartment, running, and with open arms floating over ocean waves.

The project has been long awaited by fans who haven’t listened to solo material by the rapper since his fourth album, DAMN., came out in 2017. Since then, Lamar participated in the soundtrack of Marvel's Black Panther and made two appearances in his cousin Baby Keem’s album.
