Kendrick Lamar Nabs Pulitzer

"Kendrick Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize for music for his album Damn, the organization announced Monday afternoon. It was the first win for a non-classical or jazz musician since the awards began including music some 75 years ago.
The Pulitzer board deemed the album 'a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life'.”
