4 stars out of 5 -- "Lamar is an unlikely star: a storyteller...setting spiritual yearnings and moral dilemmas against a backdrop of gang violence and police brutality.", "GOOD KID tracks Lamar's coming-of-age with a highly cinematic dye, steeping his storytelling in the WEst Coast anthems that shaped him..."

The Compton rapper's much-anticipated official delivers and then some, offering an elevated style of gangster rap along with rock-solid beats.
