Seven months after the critically acclaimed album was released, fans of Kendrick Lamar will soon be able to spin To Pimp A Butterfly on record players.
When TPAB was released, it was only made available for purchase in digital formats and CD, much to the dismay of avid record collectors. However, according to a listing on Fat Beats, one of the most important albums this year will finally be pressed to wax. This has been long awaited news, especially considering the resurgence of vinyl culture.
The double LP will be available for shipping on the 10th October this year. The website warns that the date is “subject to change.” Despite this, you can already preorder the record here, priced at $27.99.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for the Compton-native artist, who recently released the music video for “For Free (Interlude)” from TPAB, performed with his longtime role model Mos Def, and is a contributor on Dr. Dre’s album Compton A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre to be released this Friday.
Watch Lamar multiply and overtake the streets in the music video for “For Free (Interlude)” below.
