Posted by Fans are counting down the days until Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album’s arrival next Friday (May 13). K. Dot has remained tight-lipped about what the project could entail but dropped a major hint about the anticipated LP on Tuesday (May 3).
Kendrick’s Oklama website surfaced with a new folder featuring a photo of the Compton native holding a pair of CDs with one titled “Morale” and the other “Steppers,” which drove fans to think he’s teasing a possible double album.

Now, none of this is confirmed but it’s a heavy subliminal message into the direction Kendrick Lamar is going with the CDs representing the “Master Copy” of the LP. Kendrick Lamar announced Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers in April, which sent fans into a frenzy as it’s been over five years since 2017’s DAMN. album.
According to Akademiks, the latest projections are forecasting Kendrick Lamar’s comeback effort to land him yet another No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with about 400,000 total album-equivalent units in the first week.
