Reverb is a weekly collaborative music review within the Arts sec- tion that explores new albums and covers new artists, whether indie or mainstream. Our goal is to explore and examine everything that mod- ern music has to offer and to edu- cate anyone who cares. This week, Reverb covered Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” an album that many are calling one of the greatest in recent hip-hop history.
