BEAT BOX: KENDRICK LAMAR RAPS IT LIKE IT IS

The first time I heard of Kendrick Lamar was one Friday night after driving from a friends place to a nightspot. My friend who I was driving with in the car was playing a new fresh sound I had not even heard before. When I asked the friend who’s the artist? he answered with a strange laugh Kendrick Lamar you fool.
Kendrick hails from the rough streets of Compton, California in the United States.

The sizzling hot rapper released his first mixtape titled “Youngest Head Nigga” at the age of 16, with a view that one day he could get the opportunity to share his experience and creativity with the world. Kendrick is Known to have graced his followers with high quality intense Lyrics through songs such as “Rigamortus”, “Kush and Corinthians”, “Ronald Reagan” and “Hii Power”. The lyricist is an absolute beast on the mic and boy oh boy his songs definitely leave an impact. No wonder mega producer and record label owner Dr. Dre scrambled to recruit him.

Kendrick to date has worked with some of hip-hops finest names such as Drake, Big Pooh, The Game, E-40 and J. Cole to mention a few. His recent offerings include “Kendrick Lamar EP” which was released in 2010 and “Section 80” his latest project.

Look out for “Swimming Pools” and “Cartoons and Cereals” which were recently dropped. With good lyrical content and a creative level which could equal Kanye West’s, Kendrick Lamar is one artist whose here to stay for a long time.
