Interview with Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar has been hailed by hip hop legends like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre as the future of west coast Hip Hop and he sure proved why with a sold out show at the New Parish in Oakland, CA Friday night. He had the crowd rockin’, they knew each song word for word and the energy was contagious. I caught up with the Compton native after his sold out performance backstage: he speaks on staying relevant, afro centricity and tells us that his debut album will be ready next year.
