Kendrick Lamar | Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (X) | Vinyl

Subtitled ‘A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar,’ this 2012 major-label debut used Dr. Dre as executive producer alongside a rotating cast of producers including Pharrell, Just Blaze, and Hit-Boy. The record traces a single day in a teenage Kendrick’s life, weaving voicemail interludes from his parents between tracks to build a loose narrative about peer pressure, gang violence, and self-discovery in Compton. Singles “Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” and “Poetic Justice” (featuring Drake) pushed the album to platinum certification and widespread critical acclaim, landing it on countless best-of-the-decade lists. This 10th Anniversary pressing brings the sprawling story to vinyl on translucent-colored 2LP for the first time in this expanded format.
