In the next episode of J. Cole’s new “Born Sinner” series, his good friend Kendrick Lamar is featured. In episode one, we saw Cole’s mother Kay Cole share some of her story raising Jermaine, but now TDE emcee is up to share his upbringings in hip-hop. Kendrick opened up being born into the genre with his father playing Big Daddy Kane after birth on his way back home. As a kid, Kendrick caught on to rap at an early age noticing artist writing in journals for their current and past experiences growing up in inner-city communities.
In a recent conversation with Erykah Badu, she asked K. Dot what was his fulfillment out of music. He was stuck with words for a few moments, which Badu said she still hasn’t found what she’s looking for hoping he wouldn’t follow in her path. You can listen to all of this and more in the audio clip above.
