Kendrick Lamar has been absolutely killing the rap game. His debut album with Interscope Records, Good Kid m.A.A.d. City, is already being hailed a classic and generation-defining piece of work. The first week numbers came in today and with an impressive 242,122 units sold, Lamar’s critical success has clearly been also met by approval from the masses.
In the past, Kendrick has mentioned that him and fellow rising star, Roc Nation’s J. Cole, have been working on a collaborative project. Cole’s producing and rapping chops have been repeatedly proven, and his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, was easily one of the strongest of 2011. Today, Lamar blesses us with a glimpse into what we can expect from this dynamic and incredibly talented duo.
On “The Jig Is Up,” Kdot comes with his harder flow showing off his lyrical ability, unique voice and versatility. Cole World and NYC-based producer, Canei Finch, create a stadium-worthy, epic backdrop. Although J. Cole doesn’t grace the track on the mic, he does speak briefly showing his praise and support for Kendrick. Stream and download this gem below and make sure to grab GKMC on iTunes!
