All eyes are on Kendrick Lamar at the moment, and rightfully so.

After dropping a well-received new album with DAMN. just a week ago, the kid from Compton has been busy ever since. He headlined Coachella week 1, and will do so again this weekend, and he’s seen a rise in sales projections that will land him a well-deserved number 1.

To soak it all in and reflect on the newfound success, K. Dot sat down with the interviewer of all interviewers, Zane Lowe, for a lengthy in-depth sit down.

Discussing the complexity of the new album, his process behind making it and completing it, the west coast influence on his career and life, societal issues, Obama, keeping the passion and hunger, his relationship with Mike WiLL Made It and others in the industry, and much more.

Learn a thing or two from Kung Fu Kenny below, and grab DAMN. on iTunes if you’re still sleeping.
