Our Pick of the Year: good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
good kid, m.A.A.d city structures Kendrick Lamar's major-label debut as a story about adolescence, family and pressure in Compton. Voicemails and recurring scenes connect songs such as Backseat Freestyle, Swimming Pools and Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst. The narrative rewards full-album listening without weakening the individual tracks.
