MUSIC: 'The Hearts Part 5' music video released by Kendrick Lamar

It's Kendrick Lamar time and the rapper returns with the music video for The Heart Part 5.

With the release of the new single just five days ahead of the release of his fifth studio album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, the rapper has a lot planned for his fans this week.

In the music video for The Heart Part 5, directed by Lamar and Dave Free, Lamar transforms into deep fakes of O.J. Simpson, Kanye West, Jussie Smollett, Kobe Bryant, Will Smith and Nipsey Hussle.

The track samples Marvin Gaye's 1976 single "I Want You," and Lamar picks up where he left off on 2017's The Heart Part 4.

The music video also includes a "special thanks" to South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Lamar's recent releases have been tech-savvy, as he declared the release of his album last month via a new Oklama website. He also announced via the website that Mr. Moral & The Big Steppers would be his last release on TDE.

“May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for sincere creators. As I continue to pursue my calling," he wrote. “Beauty lies in perfection. And always believe in the unknown.”

Kendrick Lamar's fifth studio album follows his Pulitzer Prize-winning, Grammy-winning album DAMN., which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 in 2017.
