Kendrick Lamar

L.A.’s Compton is one of hip-hop’s most fertile neighborhoods, and the young MC currently making the biggest impression on the national scene hails from the revered South Central community. Lamar has even been co-signed by West Coast royalty. Both Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have positioned the creator of addictive tracks such as “Swimming Pools (Drank)” and “The Recipe” as an heir to the throne. One thing’s certain: we know Lamar can move a crowd. He shared the stage at Coachella with Dre this year and the place went wild. His debut, good kid, mA.A.d city, arrives on October 2.
