Kendrick Lamar‘s stellar 2015 continues even in its waning moments. On Saturday (Dec. 12), the “Alright” rapper was the grand marshal of the annual Compton Christmas Parade. 

Reports TMZ:

Kendrick Lamar and YG took a backseat Saturday to bring a little Christmas cheer to the streets of Compton.

The rappers, both Compton natives were invited by Mayor Aja Brown to ride in the city’s 63rd Annual Christmas Parade … and Kendrick was named the grand marshal.

We’re told thousands lined the parade route and gave both rappers a ton of love — and just in case Kendrick felt like giving a little backseat freestyle — there were 16 marching bands to back him up.

Recently, Barack Obama revealed Lamar’s “How Much A Dollar Cost” is one of his favorite songs of the year.
