Kendrick Lamar

 

Kendrick Lamar is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is often cited as one of the most influential rappers of his generation. Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K.Dot, releasing a mixtape titled Y.H.N.I.C. (Hub City Threat Minor of the Year) that garnered local attention and led to his signing with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). 

 

Kendrick started to gain a large online following and collaborated with several prominent rappers before releasing his major-label debut album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, in 2012. This album garnered him widespread critical recognition and mainstream success containing popular songs like “Money Trees”, “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe”, “m.A.A.d city”, and “Swimming Pools (Drank)”.

 

​​His third album To Pimp a Butterfly (2015), which incorporated elements of funk, soul, jazz, and spoken word, predominantly centered around the Black-American experience featuring songs like “Alright” and “King Kunta”. It became his first number-one album on the US Billboard 200 and was an enormous critical success. 

 

His fourth album, Damn (2017), saw continued acclaim, becoming the first non-classical and non-jazz album to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music. It also yielded his first number-one single, "Humble", on the US Billboard Hot 100. Lamar also curated the soundtrack to the superhero film Black Panther in 2018. In 2022, he released his fifth and last album with TDE, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, which received critical acclaim as well, featuring the song “N95” and “Silent Hill”. 

 

All of Kendrick Lamar’s albums have been certified platinum or higher by the RIAA. He has received many accolades in his career, including 14 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award nomination among others. Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016 and three of his studio albums were included on Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. 

 

Lamar's music widely diverges from the typical norms of modern hip hop music, with it focusing on his narration of his life and socially conscious commentary.  Noted for his jazz-driven hip hop music, Lamar has been regarded as one of the most influential rappers of his generation and one of the greatest rappers of all time.
