Kendrick Lamar's debut album, Good Kid M.A.A.D. City, has been certified Gold according to a press release. The album was released on October 22nd.

Tomorrow marks the official release of Kendrick Lamar's mind-bending good kid, m.A.A.d. city , but that doesn't mean Lamar is taking any time off. In fact, he already liberated a fantastic new track over the weekend , and now we get the Black Hippy remix of radio single " Swimming Pools (Drank) ". Since there weren't many TDE features on the full-length, it appears Jay Rock , ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul are capitalizing on the hype by dropping on this banger of a T-Minus beat. This song will be included [...]

Kendrick Lamar continues to destroy the hip-hop game letting loose a lyrically powerful track with an old school feel featuring two of his fellow talented Black Hippy members, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock . "The Heart Pt. 33 is an introspective and emotional cut, on which Lamar and co. reminisce about their rise to fame. Kendrick exudes confidence even while admitting his own doubts and second-guessing as his voice becomes raspier and more expressive through out. Soul and Jay Rock hold their own on the track showing why they are two of the most underrated emcees out. Do yourself a [...]
A while back, my dude B-Nease, aka the Black Kevin Arnold, put up a Tweet about his mom asking him who Kendrick Lamar was. His reply: “The best rapper in the world.” Not since Ice Cube could the West Coast lay claim to the best rapper on the planet. Nobody was touching Ice Cube when Amerikkka’s Most Wanted and Death Certificate were causing pants-soiling fear across suburban America. Nobody was safe during Ice Cube’s prime: not the police, government, former friends from N.W.A, or the activator section at Walgreen’s. The East Coast, fiercely protective of its [...]

How long has it been since Just Blaze has blessed a beat that's featured on this here bloggy-blog? Bloody ages, I'd say. But when Just wants to come back on the scene, he comes back strong by contributing a track for one of the most anticipated (if not the most) albums of 20-12: Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d. city. Ken's regular running mate Dr Dre steps out from behind the boards and onto the mic, blessing Blaze's beat (alliteration overload) on for a tune about [...]

Scott Leedy usually contributes to Hardwood Paroxysm , but currently, he is surrounded by kush clouds. You can't save something that doesn’t need saving. So where does that leave Kendrick Lamar? The gifted storyteller from Compton, the kid who writes and raps with a voice and perspective beyond his years, the rapper whose passion and power is matched only by control and dexterity. He is the prince directly in line, the ostensible savior for a rap world that needs no rescue. For the first time since the early years of the last [...]
