Described as a form of 21st century hip hop opera, [2] the Big Steppers Tour reflects key themes of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers through its incorporation of minimalist aesthetics and performance art. Narrated by English actor Helen Mirren, the tour follows the album's titular character, Mr. Morale, as he attempts to escape his comfort zone with the assistance of his therapist. Light art, additional props and shadow play are heavily utilized throughout the performance as tools to enhance its storytelling aspects. [3] During recording sessions, Lamar shielded the album away from most of his family members because he didn't want their influence or feelings to override his own; had he told them about it, then "them shits would've never came out." Sounwave admitted that there were times during the album's creation where "I was almost ready to give up music. Not going to lie to you. I was that lost and that down 'cause there was nobody dropping music and nothing coming out to inspire you." In an attempt to "stay alive and keep my hope alive in music," he took on an A&R position for both Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers and Baby Keem's The Melodic Blue (2021).
