Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar drops a new track during the same week his latest full-length effort is being released, good kid, m.A.A.d. city. "The Heart Pt. 3" is an interesting and extremely emotional update on the current state of Kendrick, talking about where he sees his music and career going.

Kendrick Lamar- good kid, m.A.A.d. city

With good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar drops what's easily hip hop's most cinematic album of 2012.

Kendrick Lamar- "Compton" ft. Dr. Dre

Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar has always been pretty proud of where he is, referencing it numerous times--in lights both positive and negative--in his songs. However, this new track is truly his biggest tribute yet, featuring the likes of Compton legend Dr. Dre on a few verses. Also, that hook? Completely hold school, but the track has a really fresh feel to it. Really digging what Kendrick brought on this track, and it's only making my anticipation for this dude's next album, good kid, m.a.a.d. city, even hotter.
