Our season-long analysis of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers continues with “Purple Hearts.” As the final song of Disc 1, “Purple Hearts” represents a critical juncture in the album when Kendrick calls on God to guide him through the album’s emotionally wrenching second half. Kendrick also receives guidance from Ghostface Killah, who plays a Saint-like role in the story.
