Compton, Watts and South Central are being represented in this pic.  Now the question is with all that talent in the room, how crazy is this record going to be.  We all know the production geniuses that Dre, Quik and Terrace are, and I know Jay Rock is going to give us something pretty ill with all these musicians composing something.  Rap Radar made these pics available.

KRINK x EXIT MAGAZINE x ABSOLUT (VIDEO)

Want to know how we got here to the above?  All you have to do is watch and read below...simple right?

With the bottle as his inspiration, Krink has created fifteen individual custom-designed ABSOLUT LIMITED EDITION bottles, with each 70cl bottle being uniquely customized using the artist’s signature; KRINK ink, in striking black, silver and white.

Stephen Toner, Editor of Exit Magazine said, “Exit’s relationship with Absolut spans the past decade. Both share a unique vision of imaginative partnerships with artists and groundbreaking projects. This Autumn/Winter issue we commissioned one of Exit’s favourite street artists, Krink, to bring his creative ideas to life and make the present exceptional with his own interpretation of the ABSOLUT LIMITED EDITION bottle.”

Krink commented, “The shape of the Absolut bottle is a design classic; I wanted to treat it as a sculpture. The bottle shape is iconic enough to represent their brand without showing their logo. The interaction between the drips and the bottle bring two iconic elements together, one helping the other.”

DR. DRE F/ KENDRICK LAMAR - UNTITLED

Ok it's not a track but it got your attention didn't it?  Compton legend working with a Compton rookie.  I'm excited to hear what was cooked up, but even more so I think it's dope that Dre took notice of a local who has worked his way to a position to even garner such attention.  Clap for him.
