The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America, Moore Marcus J.

Kendrick Lamar is at the top of his game.

The thirteen-time Grammy Award--winning rapper is just in his early thirties, but hes already won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, produced and curated the soundtrack of the megahit film Black Panther, and has been named one of Times 100 Influential People. But whats even more striking about the Compton-born lyricist and performer is how hes established himself as a formidable adversary of oppression and force for change. Through his confessional poetics, his politically charged anthems, and his radical performances, Lamar has become a beacon of light for countless people.
