After being available while most people were still asleep, the album was suddenly unavailable come Monday morning. What exactly happened has yet to be explained but you can stream the album in its entirety on Spotify now. With features from the likes of Bilal, Anna Wise of Sonnymoon, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, James Fauntleroy, Rapsody, Ronald Isley, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Flying Lotus and more, you’ll immediately notice that the album has a very distinct vibe. Extraordinarily funky and with a prideful element that takes you back to the 70s, To Pimp A Butterfly was applauded across social media. But how good is it? Judge for yourself.
