The number one album in America today is also one of the best-reviewed of 2015. To Pimp a Butterfly is rapper Kendrick Lamar’s second major-label release. And Compton-born Lamar is on track to sell more than 100,00 copies this week. For his new album, Lamar turns inward and examines what it means to carry the expectations of your family, your city, your fans… and yourself.
