Damn: Vinyl 2LP

This is Kendrick Lamar's first extended release since the 2016 demos collection Untitled Unmastered, and his first formal album since 2015’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Damn beautifully balances spiritual elements, personal insights, and socio - political commentary. While many rappers claim to have elevated the rap game, Kendrick Lamar truly does. On Damn, his ambitions seem even grander, aiming for something more universal and spiritual, trying to connect all contradictions. The album features guests like U2, Rihanna, and Zacari. It has production work by James Blake and Steve Lacy from the Internet, and includes a sample from Essex hellraiser Rat Boy.

To enjoy this vinyl album, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Place the vinyl gently on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. When not in use, keep the vinyl in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers as this can leave oils and dirt. If the vinyl gets dirty, use a record cleaning brush to gently remove debris. Remember to handle the vinyl with care to ensure long - lasting sound quality.
