Kendrick Lamar (K-Dot) - "Training Day"

This tape, from 2005, shows a much rawer young rapper, here we see a Kendrick who clearly aspires to be like other rappers, and hasn’t come into his own yet, but the lyrical talent is evident nonetheless, and the tape is definitely worth a listen. The tape sees K.Dot freestyling over a range of classic beats, as well as a number of original cuts with appearances from Punch and Jay Rock, it also contains segments of interview with a surprisingly level-headed 17 year old Kendrick; a good insight into the developing mind of the young artist…
