Kendrick Lamar has updated his Oklama website with a new link. The rapper also unfolded the title and release date of his upcoming album on the site. “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” will be released on May 13th.

The announcement was made via a pgLang release, which can be found on the Oklama website. It says it is from Oklama and “through his company pgLang, ” which is a moniker Kendrick has teased in the previous year. “All factual information for this release will come directly from this source only, ” the release stated. The bottom of the press release read,

“Appreciate your patience. ” On a website published in August 2021, Lamar previewed the album, which he termed his ”final TDE album. ” Back then, he wrote, “As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years, The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling. ” He signed “Oklama” on the note.

Patience has been Kendrick’s best friend throughout the last five years, since the release of his last studio album in 2017. Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is the follow-up to Lamar’s Pulitzer prizewinning album Damn, which was released in 2017.

He’s since curated and directed the Black Panther soundtrack, headlined Coachella and Top Dawg Entertainment’s Championship Tour, won a slew of Grammys, and been nominated for an Academy Award. Kendrick Lamar made appearances on Raphael Saadiq’s “Rearview, ” Sir’s

“Hair Down, ” Dreamville’s “Under the Sun, ” the Lion King’s “Nile, ” and 2 Chainz’s “Momma I Hit a Lick” in 2019. Before the Covid-19 pandemic closed down concerts and tours for the year, he was due to headline Glastonbury Festival in 2020.

Before collaborating with Baby Keem on “Family Ties” and “Range Brothers, ” he participated in Busta Rhymes’ song “Look Over Your Shoulders” in October 2020.

Lamar and his longtime collaborator Dave Free founded pgLang in March 2020, describing it as

“ a new multi-lingual, at Service Company. ” He also performed in the Super Bowl this year.
