  • Kendrick Lamar 'King Kunta' by Director X

Cat Velez - 10th Apr 2015

Closely following the release of his highly anticipated and acclaimed album To Pimp A Butterfly, Kendrick Lamar's video for the funky, confrontational King Kunta keeps it local - presenting his home turf of Compton and its denizens in an ultra-fresh way.

Director X's video celebrates Kendrick's roots - and makes it cinematic despite (or possibly because of) its unusual square format. Very cool.
