Kendrick Lamar releases video for These Walls

Kendrick Lamar has launched a video for his 'To Pimp A Butterfly' track 'These Walls' subtitled as a 'black comedy'. The video opens in a prison, progressing to a house party in an eight-minute adventure that expands on the album version, with an added interlude. Lamar's 'To Pimp A Butterfly' was released in March of this year, and has already seen five singles, of which 'These Walls' is the most recent and released in mid-October. Previous single 'Alright' recently found itself at the center of a racial equality march, with J Cole commenting that Lamar may have the power to stop LA Gang culture. Lamar said in reply, "That's a lot of responsibility. I definitely think that God put something in me that I'm not even aware of, I know it's there and I know it has the power to not only conquer what's going on in LA, but also a little deeper and further than that. I just don't know when." Last week Lamar performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, playing cuts from the album including a first ever live performance of 'For Free?', also from 'To Pimp A Butterfly'.
