artist #4: Kendrick Lamar

I found Kendrick Lamar through a track that was in Skeme's album. He has a very unique style of rapping in which his verses sounds like a full jazz solo; he changes his pitch sometimes when he feels emotional, and I think its really boss how he does that. The song "Ignorance is Bliss" hammers my heart everytime I listen to it - it exposes the drama that he experienced before his rap career, and which the strings in the background. He also has many boss tracks from his other album "Top Dawg." Dr.Dre has signed with Lamar and will hopefully Lamar will be featured in Detox. Here's a promo that Lamar did: "Look Out For Detox" All I'm saying is that Lamar has talent and I hope he becomes the new face of west coast. He's also done work with his previous name, K. Dot, which you should check out.

Some BOSS track are: "I Do This," "Ignorance is Bliss," "Average Joe," and you should check out his freestyle over "Monster"
