Elsewhere, Lamar has soundtracked a Chanel short film, played a Pop Out concert in Inglewood, California, and kept his and Dave Free’s pgLang enterprise ticking along, dropping a bespoke phone last year. He also reunited with Baby Keem for “The Hillbillies,” in late 2023, and adopted the title to headline Camp Flog Gnaw.
Released in mid-2022, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers followed Lamar’s Pulitzer Prize–winning 2017 LP, Damn, and featured notable collaborators such as Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Summer Walker, and Ghostface Killah. Per tradition, it was preceded by an installment of his “The Heart” singles series, “The Heart Part 5,” which came with a deepfake-heavy video in which Lamar morphed into Will Smith, Jussie Smollett, Kanye West, and others. He followed the LP with a concert film and went on to win Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album and, for “The Heart Part 5,” Best Rap Song.
