ResumoKendrick Lamar has received critical acclaim as the hottest hip-hop artist of the past decade. A native of Compton (California, CA, USA), he has had a meteoric rise over the past 3 years. He released his major-label debut album good kid m.A.A.d. city (acronym meaning "my angry adolescence divided"; "my angels on angel dust") in Oct, 2012, which Rolling Stone considered "worth all the hype", describing Lamar as "a dazzling street poet" unlike any other from his generation. This album covers the trials and tribulations of an adolescence spent in an inner-city subculture of violence and drugs.
