Product Information

is by far his shortest release to date – but the ideas, thoughts and feelings it contains are massive, weighty things, from sexual tension to deep, dark depression".

Sepetov described Damn 's cover as "loud and abrasive" and "not uber political like To Pimp a Butterfly but it has energy". Dynamics, vocals, bass, everything is there without the awful pops and ticks from the American presses.

Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into. The album still contains guest features from the likes of Rihanna, Zacari and U2, as well as his hit single "Humble. On May 10, 2018, the album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales, streaming and track-sales equivalent of three million units. When you're making art this substantial, vital, and virtuosic, there's no need to wrap a tidy bow around it". The album topped the US Billboard 200 with 603,000 album-equivalent units earned in its first week and topped the chart of Canada while reaching number two in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

strips down the rhythms to their essence, flavored with the occasional cameo (notably Rihanna and U2).

Released on April 14, 2017, through Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records, critical accolades followed including a Pulitzer Prize for Music and the Best Rap Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Damn received widespread critical acclaim, with many naming the album one of the best albums of 2017 and the decade. The special edition flips around the track list, to give fans a listening experience of how Lamar initially envisaged the album prior to its April 2017 release.

Andy Kellman of AllMusic stated that "it contains some of Lamar's best writing and performances, revealing his evolving complexity and versatility as a soul-baring lyricist and dynamic rapper". After the first verse of "DNA" was recorded with the beat that Mike Will had already prepared, Lamar started rapping the second verse a cappella, requesting that Mike Will build the beat around the rap. His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. The song entered at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lamar's second highest-charting song as a solo artist after "Humble".
