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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-wax-tracks1). It is much more than the typical disc and covers art that covers it -- it is artful with [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marsper-x-gucci)-cladded artwork.

The new vinyl is only limited to 100 units and will be arriving in [custom patterned packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-and-murakami) 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.
