Kendrick Lamar‘s fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, was released over four months ago, and one of the 19 songs on the album, “We Cry Together,” is one of the most talked about.
The song, which includes Taylour Paige, depicts a verbal argument between a couple in an abusive relationship, and it is aroused a lot of debate due to the honest subjects handled as well as the number of cuss words in the lyrics that make a clean version difficult.
The pgLang artist has produced a six-minute short film to accompany the single while on tour with Kendrick Lamar’s The Big Steppers Tour, and it is quite the cinematic experience.
Lamar and Paige are presented inside a house-inspired set, and they each play their roles by jawing at each other with angry verses performed live. Lamar, Jake Schreier, and Dave Free directed the video, which was shot in one take with cinematography by Adam Newport-Berra.
