Kendrick Lamar Morphs into Will Smith, Kanye West, and More in Deepfake Music video

Throughout the Track, Lamar morphs from Simpson to Kanye "Ye" West, then into Jussie Smollett. After transforming back to himself, he then pulls off another notable facial change as he turns into Will Smith.

The last two transformation see Lamar morphing into the late Kobe Bryant, before later becoming the late Nipsey Hussle, for a powerful and haunting conclusion to the evocative video.

Lamar's forthcoming album marks his first since the release of his bet-selling and critically acclaimed album DAMN, which came out in April 2017.

DAMN went on to win Best Rap Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards, and became the first rap album to ever win the Pulitzer Prize for music.
