The following year, he independently released his first studio album, Section.80, which included his debut single " HiiiPoWeR". He began to gain recognition in 2010 after his first retail release, Overly Dedicated.
(Hub City Threat Minor of the Year) that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label TDE.
Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K.Dot, releasing a mixtape titled Y.H.N.I.C. Aside from his solo career, he is also a member of the hip hop supergroup Black Hippy alongside his former Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) labelmates Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and Schoolboy Q. He is often cited as one of the most influential rappers of his generation. And that’s in my blood.Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (born June 17, 1987) is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. They get out of their minds, they get violent. I said, ‘I know what happens to my family and certain friends when they get drunk and they smoke. Why did I do these things? Because I was brought up around it? It damn sure was in the household. That’s what that record is really about, me experiencing that as a kid and making my own decisions.Īccording to Songfacts, Lamar told Billboard magazine: What better way to make something universal than to speak about drinking? I’m coming from a household where you had to make a decision-you were either a casual drinker or you were a drunk. I wanted to do something that’s universal to everybody but still true to myself. Really bringing that mainstream world to us, rather than a rapper with content along to the nation. I wanted to do something that felt good, but had a meaning behind it at the same time. Each track flows into skits that really breaks down the understanding so that song goes into another skit. That’s another record going back to the influence of the people around me and the household I grew up in. In an interview with Complex, Kendrick said:
