LOS ANGELES, United States —
Kendrick Lamar on Monday
seemingly announced his fifth studio album will come out next month, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper's first full-length project since 2017's
acclaimed "DAMN."

The superstar cryptically tweeted a link to
his announcement in response to another user's missive that "Kendrick
Lamar is officially retired."
Lamar, 34, linked to his website that is a
blank page with two folders, one of which opened to a fax-esque statement
saying that an album entitled "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers" would
come out May 13.
The prolific artist has turned to verse to
tackle race relations and his own internal searching set to music that
incorporates jazz and spoken word.
In honoring him with a
Pulitzer, the award's
board said Lamar's "DAMN." was "unified by its vernacular
authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing
the complexity of modern African American life."
Following that historic prize, he curated
and contributed a number of songs to the soundtrack for the film "
Black Panther," including his Grammy and Oscar-nominated collaboration with SZA,
"All The Stars."
He has featured on songs since then,
including on his cousin
Baby Keem's latest album.
There have been a number of false alarms of
new music from the decorated artist — but Monday's announcement seemed to be
the most concrete indication of the rapper's plans yet.
"All factual information for this
release will come directly from this source only," read the statement he
linked to.
