Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly album dropped eight years ago back in 2015 and now the Grammy-winning album is getting a luxe vinyl iteration. It is much more than the typical disc and covers art that covers it -- it is artful with Gucci-cladded artwork.
The new vinyl is only limited to 100 units and will be arriving in custom patterned packaging that is designed by the luxe fashion house. Additionally, it will also be complete with a gilded Gucci seal of approval. The vinyl will also come with a special cover that is created by American modern artist Lauren Halsey -- it features a giclée print and is all secured over a custom-dyed linen jacket.
