This June, prepare to experience one of the most important and genre-defining albums of the 21st century like never before. The Hip Hop House Band will be delving deep into Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly — a cultural landmark and modern classic — in an electrifying live reinterpretation that honours the original while boldly reimagining its sound.
Fusing elements of jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop, this dynamic performance breathes new life into the album’s rich sonic palette and powerful message. From the swagger and grit of King Kunta and The Blacker the Berry to the emotional vulnerability of u, and the rallying cry of Alright, every track will be performed with musical dexterity and reverence for its lyrical and political weight.
Originally released in 2015, To Pimp A Butterfly is more than just a record — it’s a meditation on race, identity, inequality and resistance, framed through virtuosic production and razor-sharp poetry. The Hip Hop House Band brings these themes to life on stage with a full-band arrangement that echoes Kendrick’s vision while introducing unexpected twists and turns.
This is not merely a cover performance — it’s a celebration of protest, poetry, and raw musical power, delivered with soul, fire, and fearless creativity.
