Kendrick Lamar has finally released an issue from the upcoming Mr. Morality and the great steppers. It is also the rapper’s first new song as lead artist since 2018. “The Heart Part 5” is, as you can deduce from the title, the fifth in Lamar’s “The Heart” series. From 2010 with “The Heart Part 1”, these songs have been a place for Lamar to ponder everywhere, especially his identity in relation to other artists. “The Heart Part 2” features a monologue by the late photographer Dashiell “Dash” Snow, and “Part 5” features tributes (or maybe just portraits) of OJ Simpson, Kanye West, Jussie Smollett, Will Smith, Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle . Lamar forges deep into these characters, and the video gives a special thank you to “Matt Stone, Trey Parker and DEEP VOODOO.” Deep Voodoo is the name of Matt and Trey’s deepfake studio, which they previously used to make “Sassy Justice”.
