Need some proof that Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are actually working on that joint project together? Well, here's your goddamn proof, y'all. The two hit the studio together recently and Cole posted a bunch of photos of that time on his DreamVillain website . He also noted that "shit just got real" and "Got my n***a K. Dot in the Ville as I type this." Awesome. Now just let us hear a song or give us a firm release date and today will be a million times better. Please? Peep the photos below.
With the release of Tom Clancey's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Kendrick Lamar has released War is My Love. His inspiration for the tune is below. When I recorded "War Is My Love" I did my best to put myself in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory... And when I started really getting into the game, I thought it actually matched perfectly.

Check out a brand new Kendrick Lamar track that features on Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier . The game itself was released yesterday but you can stream the track in full below. Regarding the song Kendrick stated: When I recorded "War Is My Love" I did my best to put myself in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory...

Not quite sure how this came about, but the new Ghost Recon game will come with a brand new song by TDE's Kendrick Lamar . Titled "War Is My Love", the song features a synth-heavy beat that reminds me of Kid Cudi 's "Mr. Rager". As always, Kendrick kills his verses with his lyricism and haunting rhymes. The hook isn't necessarily the greatest, but considering this was made for a game soundtrack, I guess it's not too shabby. Give it a listen below. MP3: [...]
You don't have to be a gamer to enjoy Kendrick Lamar. As he recruited to do a track for the upcoming release of the game, Kendrick's new track is on the shorter side, but still extremely solid. Enjoy. Follow @OceanPdestrians .
Interesting cross blog-motion here, as Kendrick Lamar crafts "War Is My Love," an original song for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier , in stores tomorrow for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Kendrick claims he wrote the song to put the listener "in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory." Is this a misfire from the TDE captain, or a welcome addition to the hip hop Canon? See for yourself and download/listen [...]
Videogame companies are quickly realizing that soundtracks to their games should be treated as a high priority. EA Sports was all over it, and now other randomass games are getting into involved as well. Kendrick was recruited to record a track for Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and he puts his immense lyrical talent on full display, per usual. Download: Kendrick Lamar - War Is My Love Tweet
There was something rather strange seeing highly politicised Compton MC Kendrick Lamar advertising a popular video game series via his Facebook, but I should have had more confidence in the man, because everything he touches at the moment seems to turn straight to gold. Rather than just giving a few interviews and advertising the game ( Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - out tomorrow) for a bit of easy dollar, Kendrick has instead made a track putting himself "in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and captur[ing] that feeling of being willing to wage war [...]

"War Is My Love" is the new track from Californian rapper Kendrick Lamar. Soon after being named a member of Ghost Recon Future Soldier's "Ghost Team," Kendrick Lamar was commissioned to record a song for the soundtrack of the games upcoming release. "War Is My Love" is definitely more love than war, with soft uplifting vocals and minimalistic instrumentation that lets Kendrick rhymes come through.
Ghost team member Kendrick has dropped off the song he did for Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Future Soldier . Kendrick Lamar - War is My Love is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog
It's not exactly a hard-and-fast rule, but virtually all the original songs that show up in video games are fucking terrible. Like HEALTH , Cali rap next-big-thing Kendrick Lamar is doing what he can to change that. For the soundtrack of the forthcoming game Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Kendrick recorded a characteristically dizzy and word-drunk track called "War Is My Love." Listen to it below. Read More...

Ubisoft links with K. Dot on more than on level which ends up bringing us a new track from the Compton spitter. Check everything out below. Ubisoft announced Kendrick Lamar as the final member of Team Ghost, a select group of four celebrity gamers brought together to promote the highly anticipated video game, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Just as the Ghosts are the most elite soldiers and represent a complete range of skills on the battlefield, each member of Team Ghost is among the best at what they do and plays a unique [...]
Compton MC Kendrick Lamar has contributed an original piece to Ubisoft's forthcoming Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier video game (does that mean Ubisoft reads our site? ) In a press release, Lamar said "War Is My Love" was written as he tried to put himself "in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory." The resulting track features the deliberate marching of keys and orchestral strings, the perfect backdrop for Lamar's rhymes about the off-putting [...]
I used to be a huge video game head, but lately they just haven't been able to keep my attention for more than a couple of hours. While I am sure Ghost Recon Future Soldier won't change that, perhaps its soundtrack will. Considering it includes Kendrick Lamar spitting words of wisdom on "War Is My Love". I wouldn't say this is Lamar's best effort, it does indeed make this game more appealing. Give it a spin and let us know what you think. Stream/Download " War Is My Love " here.
Kendrick Lamar's track for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
New Kendrick Lamar track for the new Ghost Recon Future Soldier. "War Is My Love," is inspired by the new Tom Clancy video game for Xbox 360. Kendrick is getting those music placement dollars, much respect. "When I recorded 'War Is My Love,' I did my best to put myself in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory," said Kendrick Lamar. "And when I started really [...]
