Kendrick Lamar- "The Recipe" ft. Dr. Dre
New Tracks2 CommentsAfter the stellar "Cartoons & Cereal," Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar drops a new single, and land's a feature from none other than Dr. Dre.
Of course, this special occasion needs a special instrumental. The beat here sounds bit more refined than the instrumentals Kendrick usually spits over, featuring loads of plucked and bowed strings. A distant female vocal sample adds another element of beauty, too.
The lyrics tossed between Kendrick and Dre show pride in their hometown. Though other cities can be great, there's no place like home.
