Kendrick Lamar is a 24-year old emcee from Compton, California who has been on the rise lately. He notes Tupac Shakur as his main inspiration, and many of his songs carry the same messages and emotions. In this powerful ballad about a woman's life and death as a prostitute, he even references Shakur's "Brenda's Got a Baby". It's off his new album Section.80 which is available now on iTunes. Also, his 2010 mixtape O.Verly D.Edicated is available on datPiff for free download. Let me know what you think in the comments; I highly doubt this is the last you'll hear of this amazing artist.
