Kendrick Lamar releases ‘These Walls’ video

With ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ surely preparing its acceptance speech for the numerous end-of-year lists it’s bound to be topping over the next few months, Kendrick Lamar is celebrating with one hell of a victory lap in the form of a new video for ‘These Walls’.

The eight-minute epic spans a riotous house party which sees walls crumble and arrests made, before Kendrick himself takes part in an impromptu talent show halfway through. Because of course he does. Bilial, Thundercat and Anna Wise co-star on the track, an undoubted highlight of ‘…Butterfly’. Watch the ‘These Walls’ video below.

Kendrick’s been playing about with his material of late - he recently performed with a symphony orchestra, and is currently in the midst a new “Groove Sessions” run of intimate dates. His full touring schedule is as follows:

NOVEMBER
01 Washington, Lincoln Theatre
02 New York, Webster Hall
03 Philadelphia, Trocadero Theatre
