New Kendrick Lamar Album ft. Eckhart Tolle 🎤

My favorite rapper Kendrick Lamar (first rapper to win the Pulitzer Prize) just released a new album, Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. I love it for its depth, authenticity, creativity, and spirituality. It’s a piece of art that literally features recordings of spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle talking about the ego, the pain body, and presence, from his book The Power of Now. Check the album out and listen for really deep, raw, real lyrics about Kendrick's personal experience with therapy, daddy issues, meditation, how he relates to being black, even cancel culture. Really good and encouraging to see the psychological depth so effortlessly—and explicitly—interwoven in such popular music.

Thanks for the suggestions from last week's prompt like "Fantasaloss" and "AOMO—acceptance of missing out". Let me know what touches you with #relatefulness twitter hashtag to foster more discussion/contemplation, and keep sharing with anyone you think digs this kind of stuff.

With love, Jordan
