The book will focus on the albums ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’, ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’, and ‘DAMN’ and “explores the broad global impact of Mr Lamar and his work.”
Moore says he has interviews set up with “people in and around the environment in which he grew up, as well as those who’ve helped him create music along the way”.
Touchstone Books have previously released biographies of Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.
