Kendrick Lamar Set To Receive Key To Compton

It hasn’t even officially been a year since the world saw the release of Kendrick Lamar’s second studio album, To Pimp A Butterfly, and it already feels like that the rapper has achieved so much with the critically acclaimed project. Being one of the most praised albums released in 2015, Kendrick’s risk and statement for Hip-Hop was heard loud and clear by fans and naysayers alike. With a intimate tour under his belt, moments with President Obama, a collection of impressive music videos, and so much more to his name, ahead of his potential huge night at this year’s Grammy awards, Kendrick has already won. Always representing and going hard for his hometown of Compton, California, as if wasn’t recognized already, the rapper has caught the attention of local politicians that are looking to reward him for his contributions. On February 13th, the ‘These Walls’ rapper will receive the key to the city of Compton.

For almost anyone, that is a moment Kendrick should be proud off. With such a strong message going into the music he has put out over the years, Kendrick has seen just how impacting and powerful his music can be to so many. Congratulations are 100% in order for Mr. Lamar ahead of the big honor.
