Kendrick Lamar recently announced that his new album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, is set to be released on May 13th, which is more than enough excitement in itself. However, a recent teaser suggests that there may be more to the release than was initially thought.
On May 3rd, a photo was uploaded to oklama.com, where Kendrick first announced that the album was on its way via a press release. The photo features two CDs, Morale and Steppers, as well as a book adorned with the album's title.

As you'd expect, fans were very excited by the prospect of a double album, and we've put together some of our favourite reactions to the "news". It must be stated that no confirmation has come from Kendrick himself, or TDE, but we're going to dream. It's been a long while since 2017's DAMN after all!

The double album is where legends are solidified. Tupac, Biggie, OutKast, UGK, etc. Kendrick Lamar throwing his name into that hat is the only name rn that makes sense.
