A lot of expectations weigh upon the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar, who has redefined what many considered Los Angeles hip hop. Kendrick Lamar owns a style that is completely his own.

Game would give Kendrick Lamar a major co-sign in 2011, featuring him on “The City,” the standout track on The R.E.D. Album. After working with Game, Kendrick Lamar began working with Dr. Dre. This work would lead to Kendrick Lamar signing with Aftermath and the Top Dawg label entered a deal with Interscope Records.
