On May 13th, nearly five years after his last album, Kendrick Lamar released his new album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers and soon after, he embarked on a wide tour performing the songs of the album and many of his older songs. Yesterday, his tour landed in Stockholm and I had the delight of seeing Kendrick perform live at the Avicii Arena.
I've been goin' through somethin'
One thousand, eight hundred and 55 days
I've been goin' through somethin'
Be afraid
– United In Grief, Kendrick Lamar
I truly enjoyed the concert and went home with a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that I got to attend such a wonderful masterpiece of a performance. I find myself at a loss of words trying to describe how it went or offering any sentimental reflection on Kendrick songs and performance, so I will leave you with some pictures from that night, just in case you want a sneak peek.
