Kendrick Lamar having just played Brixton Academy in London, UK for Radio 1 Extra 2012, it was well wicked. If you haven't already heard Radio1Extra then listen in, it roks. Radio 1Xtra. Photo below was taken at Radio 1Xtra Live in Brixton. UK Rap and HipHop are alive, as are American US Rap artist's and together they are bringing new talent and familiar sounds of the genre to the fore.
Kendrick Lamar was born in Compton, California, United States of America, he was born on June 17th 1987, and is currently a Hip Hop recording artist.
Kendrick Lamar received his first record contract in 2003 at the age of sixteen, 16, after making his first mixtape and then also signing to Top Dawg Entertainment, under the name K-Dot.
In 2007 Kendrick Lamar went on tour with Game and showed great promise. Big Up!
After receiving a co-signed by Lil Wayne in 2009 Kendrick Lamar dropped using the name K-Dot and started to use his own name, Kendrick Lamar.

In 2011 Kendrick Lamar released his first independant album, although he had worked on many tunes before this time. He has worked along side great american artists like Dr Dre, Drake, Game, Busta Rhymes, Warren G and Lil Wayne.
So if you are into Gang Bangin, Gangsta Trippin, HipHop, Rap, Rapping, Rapped with an old skool feel and a modern twist then Kendrick Lamar could be for you?
Amongst my favorite Kendrick Lamar music song tracks are ;
ADHD, Spiteful Chant, Compton, Rigamortis, Tammy's Song, The Recipe, and Swimming Pools.
Below is part of the video extracted from Kendrick Lamar - Spiteful Chant, You Tube video, although this is not the first time that this video has been used. The video was originally the video for Music Artist, Woodkid and the music song track, Iron, which must be said, is an amazing tune with video to match. There is also a follow up to this video by Woodkid, the music song track is called, Run Boy Run, and continues the video story of Woodkid, Iron video. Check out Woodkid, Iron and Woodkid, Run Boy Run. Although Kendrick Lamar's Spiteful Chant goes exceedingly well with the iron video.
Do you recognise who the woman in the video is ?
Well if not, it is Agness Deyn, the model, she roks.
