Time Out says

Kendrick Lamar's ability to splice spacey Southern California alternative hip-hop with his own hooky pop sensibilities garnered the attention of Dr. Dre, who appointed Lamar "the new king of the West Coast," before signing him to his Aftermath label. The resulting album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, dropped last October and went gold, and since then Lamar has toured with Drake, appeared on SNL and recorded a track titled "Partynauseous" with Lady Gaga. Oh, and he's playing two consecutive shows at Roseland Ballroom tonight, after the first one sold out. You better hope you already got tickets…
