“The Blacker the Berry“ is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on February 9, 2015 as the second single from his third studio album “To Pimp a Butterfly“. The song's hook is performed by Jamaican dancehall artist Assassin, notable for performing on Kanye West's 2013 LP Yeezus, whose lyrics similarly address racial inequality, specifically against African Americans. It shares its title with the novel The Blacker the Berry by American author Wallace Thurman, which deals with similar themes of racism.
