HOMEGROWN RADIO w/ ICON & KENDRICK LAMAR (VIDEO)


Video streaming by Ustream

I'll let Chuck explain...

This week we kicked things off by introducing our audience to an artist by the name of Icon. The Los Angeles emcee speaks on how he got introduced to hip hop, networking within the industry as an upcoming artist, plus the plans he has for his music and overall career. We got a chance to also press play on a few records he has in the works from a project series entitled Welcome To Fresh Coast.

Later in the show we had the pleasure of going one on one with Kendrick Lamar. The Compton native goes in depth about his current project Section.80, the definition of HiiiPower, his personal relationship with Dr. Dre, plus the opportunity/responsibility he suddenly has to speak for an entire generation. Kendrick then goes through the entire Top Dawg Ent. roster, giving his personal thoughts as to what each artist/producer brings to the table. He also explains where he'd like to see himself a few years down the line and kicks a few bars for the audience.
ALSO...LAST CHANCE TO WIN A FREE PAIR OF BEATS BY DRE HEADPHONES!

Throughout the show we had music from Bad Lucc, Schoolboy Q, Russian Rullet, K Boy, Game, Problem and more!
