Kendrick Lamar has been announced as the headliner of the 2015 Hot 97 Summer Jam and he visited the city for a few hours to be part of the big announcement.

He also chatted with Ebro, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Sylez about a few topics like title of his #1 sophomore album To Pimp A Butterfly, respect he gets in New York city, the 2Pac interview on ‘Mortal Man’, the positive reaction from fans and critics for the album, almost having Prince on the album (what!), upcoming video for his single ‘King Kunta’, why the album is not a “classic” yet, having George Clinton around for the making of the album, the effect that society had on the album, albums that shaped his mind, inspiration for ‘u’, his statement about black people not respecting themselves, his celebrity status and much more.

He also said that the joint album with J.Cole is still a good possibility.

Kendrick Lamar stopped by at Power 106 in his hometown LA for an interview where he discussed how he thinks about his albums as children, who LoveDragon is and why his identity is being kept a secret and going to Dr. Dre’s house.

In case you’re not aware, LoveDragon is credited as a producer on ‘How Much A Dollar Cost’ and ‘You Ain’t Gotta Lie’ from the new album but there is nothing to be found about him on the internet. There is speculation that it is Dr. Dre going by another alias but see what Kendrick said about it below.
