Presented as a double LP, the record spans a total of 18 tracks and features collaborations with the likes of Summer Walker, Baby Keem, and more. Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers comes as his last release under his longtime label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) as he starts anew in his own label pgLang, according to a letter he published in April. 

"As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life’s calling," he writes under the pseudonym, oklama.

The album follows the release of his latest single 'The Heart Part 5'.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is Lamar's first album since 2017's DAMN., which won a Pulitzer Prize and a GRAMMY for Best Rap Album .
