Happy Birthday Kendrick Lamar!

Kung Fu Kenny, King Kunta, K.Dot, or whatever you like to call the legendary hip hop artist, Kendrick Lamar, is celebrating his 30th birthday today! Kendrick has come such a long way since Dr. Dre's co-sign and his first album release, Overly Dedicated, back in 2010. This guy has dominated absolutely everything hip hop related the past 5 years and we promise you, the momentum isn't slowing down anytime soon.

Kendrick was recently described as the, Radiohead, of hip hop culture. K.Dot has grown to such a monumental level, creating hype music isn't on top of his agenda. We have had the pleasure of enjoying Lamar's live set 5 times over the years and his talent is truly growing by the minute.
