“We Cry Together” one of “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” is a song about a toxic relationship.
With “We Cry Together,” the seventh single on his Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album, Kendrick Lamar raised a lot of brows. Before going into an expletive-filled dispute between a couple, the Taylour Paige-assisted single warns listeners that “this is what the world sounds like.” The song will now be given the short-film treatment, replete with an exclusive premiere in Los Angeles, rather than just a basic music video.
Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers raised more than a few eyebrows for a variety of reasons. Then there was his collaboration with problematic Florida rapper Kodak Black, which drew criticism for K-association Dot’s with someone that has been accused of sexual assault.
On “Mother I Sober,” he admitted cheating to his fiancée and mother of his two children, Whitney Alford, and on “We Cry Together,” Zola actress Taylour Paige made her rap debut in a back-and-forth simulating a problematic relationship with Lamar.
Taylour Paige, an artist and actress, announced a music video for their song “We Cry Together” a few weeks ago, and fans have been waiting to see what type of visuals the two have concocted since then. It turns out that the song will be adapted into a short film.
Paige doubled down with a photograph of a marquee at the Laemmle Royal Theater in L.A., spotlighting the film by asking, “Where the hypocrites at?” after teasing the movie on Instagram on May 24.

Despite the fact that Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and scored a slew of hits on the Hot 100, “We Cry Together” made history in ways that few artists could hope for.
The record dropped 81 ranks on the Billboard Hot 100 list, according to Chart Data. After launching at No. 16, the contentious tune plummeted to No. 16, achieving the chart’s greatest single-week loss in history (for a song that remained on the chart).
