Kendrick Lamar‘s new album, DAMN., came out last night. The full credits list is also out, too, confirming some of what we knew: Mike Will Made-It, Sounwave, DJ Dahi, Terrace Martin, 9th Wonder, the Alchemist, and BADBADNOTGOOD all contributed production. The “J. Blake” hinted at earlier is, indeed, James Blake. Greg Kurstin, most famous for working with Adele and Sia, is also credited on “LOVE.” Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, KAYTRANADA, and Anna Wise contribute instrumentation and vocals through the album. As Pitchfork points out, multiple credits are cited for Bekon, a producer whose name doesn’t turn up many hits. Find the full credits list below, via Tidal and the liner notes.
