Months after the release of his now platinum-selling album DAMN., Kendrick Lamar confirmed rumors that his fourth studio LP was intended to also be played in reverse order. “I think like a week after the album came out, [fans] realized you can play the album backwards,” the TDE lyricist told MTV News back in August. “It plays as a full story and even a better rhythm. It’s one of my favorite rhythms and tempos within the album. It’s something that we definitely premeditate while we’re in the studio.”
Music lovers soon pieced together DAMN. in reverse order, starting with “DUCKWORTH.” instead of “BLOOD.” King Kendrick now makes things easier, dropping a special collectors edition of the album in reverse order.
