This California-based rapper has been on the hip-hop scene since the early 2000’s, but has recently gained notoriety from his single “Swimming Pools (Drank)” which became a Billboard Top 20 Hit. Now the artist has two studio albums, an EP, and five mixtapes, as well as appearances on other albums by rappers like Kid Cudi, 50 cent, and LL Cool J.

This is not Kendrick Lamar’s first appearance at the BJC. He was also an opening act when Drake came to town in the fall of 2011 with A$AP Rocky. Let’s hope that his first headlining show in Happy Valley is one to remember.
