Kendrick Lamar

The Hip Hop talent

Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American hip hop recording artist from Compton, California. Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the moniker K-Dot, and released a mixtape which garnered local attention and led to his signing with Carson-based independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). Lamar began to gain major recognition in 2010 after his first retail release, Overly Dedicated. The following year, he released Section.80, his first independent album, exclusively through iTunes. The album spawned Lamar's debut single, "HiiiPoWeR", and was instantly ranked as one of the top digital hip hop releases of the year. By that time, Lamar had amassed a large internet following and had already worked with several prominent artists in the hip hop industry, including The Game, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Busta Rhymes. Lamar later secured a recording contract with a major label in 2012, when he signed with Aftermath and Interscope Records. His major-label debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, was released in October 2012 to universal acclaim. The record contained the top 40 singles "Swimming Pools (Drank)", "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe", and "Poetic Justice". Upon its release, the album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In early 2013, MTV named Lamar the No. 1 "Hottest MC in the Game" on their annual list. His third studio album's lead single, "i", earned him his first two Grammy Awards at the 2015 ceremony: Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. In March 2015, Lamar released To Pimp a Butterfly, incorporating elements of funk, spoken word poetry and jazz in his sound for the record. It topped the charts in various countries, including the U.S. and the UK. Apart from his solo career, Lamar is also known as a member of the West Coast hip hop supergroup Black Hippy, alongside his TDE labelmates and fellow South Los Angeles-based rappers Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q.

Spearheading the Afro American US cause, Kendrick Lamar is only in his second album but leaves already show tremendous talent at the cross-currents of Rap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul and R&B. Happy discovery of this rich album, fresh, inventive and unconventional that takes us away from the stereotypes that the planet Hip hop had accustomed us. With a willingness to return to sounds and arrangements of the 80s, Kendrick Lamar immerses us in an impressive atmosphere, almost unreal that will undoubtedly speak of him in the future.
