Kendrick Lamar Performs New Song In Los Angeles: Watch
Kendrick Lamar made a surprise appearance last night (May 15) at a Los Angeles concert by producer Adrian Younge. While there, the two artists — as well as singer Bilal — debuted a new song titled “Money Over Love,” Okayplayer reports.
So far, only snippets of the driving song have been posted online. In one, Lamar unleashes a fiery verse, as to be expected. In another, he smiles as he dances along to impassioned vocals by Bilal, an artist featured prominently in his new album To Pimp a Butterfly.
Based on the reactions, the crowd had no idea that when Younge billed his concert “Adrian Younge and Friends,” such friends included Lamar. The producer has worked with hip-hop artists like Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Ghostface Killah, though he admits that he would rather listen to Ennio Morricone than rap released after 1997.
“I love people like Black Milk, I love Kendrick Lamar; there’s different cats I like, but I’m just not well versed in new music,” Younge said to PopMatters last year.
