The GELT's TOP 50
A native of
Compton, California, Kendrick Lamar became famous in the West Coast rap world at
the age 16 as K-Dot, following a first mixtape and a contract with an
independent label. Noticed by Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg or The Game, he released under
his own name his debut album in 2011 what earned him acclaim from critics.
Skillful and combative songwriter often on the verge of controversy, he asserts
once as a major artist of the international rap music scene, even acquiring
from his stage-fellows the title of New King of the West Coast. Just released, his
new album Pimp To A Butterfly is already among the best sales including a bunch
of quality songs and especially King
Kunta, a track reminding a rebel African slave in the18th century Virginia who opposed his new
master, completed by a video dedicated to his hometown, the symbol of urban
West Coast music with, in the background the shadow of Tupac still looming over
the deadly disputes of the past.
