Leaking earlier tonight was Kendrick Lamar's official studio album. good kid m.A.A.d city isn't just an album rather a short film by the young poet Kendrick Lamar. His first two efforts (Overly Dedicated & Section .80) had great success and crowned Kendrick the new king of the Compton and the west coast. Moving on, the guest list that was provided is nothing to take lightly. Jay Rock was an unexpected feature on Money Trees produced by DJ Dahi. That would be the only TDE music feature on the track list. Drake co writes the track Poetic Justice produced by LA native Scoop Deville. Something tells me this will serve as a single very soon. with a powerful sound/movie clip at the end of it's life. On the track good kid Pharrell Williams composes and provides choral vocals. Another surprise was hearing MC Eiht on the street infused record m.A.A.d city. The hook will take over mind. Production provided by the next level sounds of THC and co production by Sounwav and Terrace Martin. Besides all of that m.A.A.d city has two lives transitioning one story to another. K dot introduces a new artist to my knowledge named Anna Wise from the group Sonnymoons. She is definitely Next In Show on the track Real produced by LA native Terrace Martin.
Kendrick has kept his original storytelling recipe as he has had from the beginning of his career. But don't get it confused, this album good kid m.A.A.d city will sound nothing like his previous projects. The tone of the album controls a steady pace and has you biting your nails at the end of each song. Throughout the album there are conversations at the beginning and ends of records. Within the music is a short film inspired by Kendrick Lamar's life and style. Seamless mixing by resident engineer Ali solidifies the album as a classic in my world. Tracks like Backseat Freestyle produced by Hit-Boy keep the album sounding fresh and innovative. Classic records are only as classic as their producers. Almost every record presents a different producer, but still maintains a consistent vibe throughout. His first summer single was The Recipe, which featured Dr. Dre is included as a bonus track.
The second single known as Swimming Pools (Drank) is included on the official album track list, but as an extended version. Sing About Me is produced by Skhye Hutch, SounWav and transitions to the track I'm Dying Of Thirst produced by Like of Pac Div. This whole album is just as entertaining and exciting as any major movie out in theaters now. Compton produced by Just Blaze completes the original album and features mentor to music Dr. Dre. After hearing and watching the film good kid m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar, I feel enlightened and inspired. By the end I discovered that the story was told in reverse. So far my favorite track is The Art of Peer Pressure. Album releases October 22, 2012 walk, run, click to buy this album. I have no problem buying 2 copies. This could serve as my catcher in the rye it's that classic. #nextinshow
