This right here? THIS? This is one of my favorite videos of 2017. The imagery in this video (which pays homage to the work of iconic photographer Gordon Parks) is absolutely breathtaking, and the motion shots are just as captivating. Salute to Kendrick, Dave Free, and Jonas Lindstroem for this creative piece of work.
K. Dot’s DAMN is out now (but I’m sure you knew that already).
Kung Fu Kenny continues his hot streak by jumping on Future’s latest smash.

Producer: Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, Dave Free, Angel J Rosa
Production co: TDE Films, AJR Films
Khaled took to his Beats1 radio show to debut this new record from his upcoming Major Key album….This Kendrick verse though?!
…The best thing to happen this week. Apple Music’s description says it all.
“Every element of Kendrick Lamar’s unedited unmastered tells you something about the Compton MC’s provocative, multi-layered genius. Take the contrast of the collection’s ultra-generic title and its attention-grabbing out-of-left-field release. Take the retro-futuristic, Funkadelic-inspired grooves that simmer under tracks like “untitled 02” or “untitled 06.” These are only the beginning of Lamar’s hypnotic, nuanced nod to hip-hop’s deep roots and unstoppable political and expressive currency. Songs like “untitled 03” and “untitled 05”—with layered references, wild-eyed jazz solos, and cutting insight—continue the brilliant reign of King Kendrick.”
