Kendrick Lamar has always displayed a particular amount of pride of being a native son of Compton, Calif. Ahead of the 2016 Grammy Awards ceremony, the Academy has released a short film featuring K-Dot in his hometown element.
Friday came and went without Kanye West dropping a new song. Fear not, this morning (Jan. 18) Yeezy went ahead and dropped the full version of “No More Parties In L.A.,” so you can stop the bloodclot crying.
Kendrick Lamar had an exciting 2015 and this year appears to be more of the same for the Hip-Hop superstar. K-Dot will be awarded a key to his hometown of Compton, Calif. in a ceremony to be held next month.
Kendrick Lamar’s “How Much A Dollar Cost” from his Too Pimp A Butterfly album was one of Barack Obama’s favorite songs of 2015. So it shouldn’t be too surprising that the Compton rapper kicked it with the POTUS in the Oval Office back in October.
Kendrick Lamar brought his Kuntas’s Groove Sessions tour down to Austin, TX back in late October. PBS recorded the date for an Austin City Limits performance which is now available to stream.

Kendrick Lamar is now one of the game’s best and most critically-acclaimed MCs, but don’t think it was strictly because of good luck. In a new PSA, that we hoped was a song, K. Dot hammers home the message that hard work will always pays off.
Everyone who follows the mighty Top Dawg Entertainment camp realizes that the artists who represent the crew are extremely competitive. It appears that spirit took over in the booth recently between Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q, but TDE boss says a reported scuffle is being blown out of proportion.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright,” one of 16 tracks to appear on his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated sophomore effort, To Pimp A Butterfly, receives a jazzy remix courtesy of Terrace Martin, a key figure in crafting the album’s jazz-influenced sound.
