XXL Kendrick Lamar Show - S.O.B.'s, Dec. 18 New York City, NY

 Featuring - King Mez, Emilio Rojas, Phil Ade, & Kendrick Lamar

XXL put together a showcase headlined by Kendrick, featuring several 2012 Freshman Candidates.  The show was hosted by Shade 45's Sway & Devi Dev of the Sway in the Morning Show.

All of the MC's rocked to a jam-packed crowd, who came out to show their support for these young artists.  Kendrick even drew praise from a couple veteran MC's who came out to show their support.

"I think Kendrick is dope, so I had to come out and support.  It's good to come out and show love, and let's them know that we support and are saluting these young cats.  It don't matter where you're from, what type of music you make...if it's dope, then I'm rockin' wit it" - Lil Cease 

"I had to show love to Kendrick, I think he's dope.  Shout to all the young artists out there creating their own lane like Kendrick and A$AP Rocky." - Talib Kweli
