Kendrick Lamar News: Rapper Releases 'The Blacker The Berry' Track Off Upcoming Album

Compton based rapper, Kendrick Lamar, recently released the second racially-charged single off of his highly anticipated currently untitled album.

The single was released through actress' Taraji P. Henson's tweet:

"Here is a working link for my fav song on ?@kendricklamar new joint he has coming!!!!"

'Blacker the Berry' was produced by Boi-1da and Terrace Martin and speaks on inner struggles of African-American race.

"The conscious cut was inspired by Wallace Thurman's 1929 novel 'The Blacker the Berry: A Novel of Negro Life', which addresses colorism and racial discrimination within the black community," writes Latin Post.

Lamar's lyrics and raw emotion comes off in his signature aggressive tone and tackles not only general issues within his community, but racial stigmas.

"So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers / Or tell Georgia State, 'Marcus Garvey got all the answers' / Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day / Or eat watermelon, chicken and Kool-Aid on weekdays / Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements / Or watch BET cause urban support is important / So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street? / When gang banging make me kill a n***a blacker than me? Hypocrite!"

Accompanying the rapper is Dancehall artist Assassin on the chorus.

"I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black / Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black / And man a say they put me in a chain, cah' we black."

The rapper recently won big at this year's Grammy's taking home 'Best Rap Performance' and 'Best Rap Song' for his single 'I'.

The release of the new track has stirred even more anticipation for Kendrick's sophomore album, already collecting over a million views on Youtube within a day.
