After dropping his first album in over five years, Kendrick Lamar needed a little R&R.

So he hopped a plane to Ghana and has been seen around the African nation.

Here he is playing soccer on the asphalt with some of the locals.

Not the typical album release party, but it seems like a good time was had by all.

Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers is set for the biggest first-week opening of the year with about 325K.  However, that is quite a drop from the 604K his last album DAMN. did first week.
