Even on the instant classic “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers” album, the (literally) dramatic ‘We Cry Together’ is a stand-out track, with Kendrick Lamar and Taylour Paige (the actress you might have seen in “Boogie”) playing a romantically entangled couple circling each other with reproaches, threats and emotional cuts that go from skin-deep to straight-to-jugular before finally collapsing into each other like two planets giving into their mutual gravitational pull. The video is a live recording directed by Jake Schreier and Dave Free, creating the feel of a one-act play that stays true to the essence of the track and the raw power of the verbal performance.

Keep it rolling: watch the video from “N95” from the same album.
